 hmm, [comments] was used to add comments to strings like "[show as
 ]Image" in Nautilus. I guess we can disallow that for gconf files. I
 would happily accept a patch doing that if no better sollution is found.

+I was looking at this today. It is sufficient to just remove the line
+that Abel initially identified. A search through the CVS HEAD of the
+all modules in the GNOME release show that none of them are using the
+[comment] format, but a number are using the [item1, item2] format. So
+this should get fixed soon.
+
+Longer term (when #123914 is fixed), it is pretty easy to add in
+support for XML-style comments in schema files that make it into the
+PO file (I pretty much have that working, but I need #123914 resolved
+first to avoid clashes). Then we can add translation-aiding comments
+when necessary. But apparently we can survive without that feature at
+the moment.
