KDE's i18n() function (same as t() for Drupal) has an optional "context" 
parameter that the developer specifies in order to help the translators out.
(That context later appears as comment in the .pot file, I believe.)

Maybe it would be an option to include something like this in some way, in 
order to provide an actual middle ground between "no UI-related context in 
the .pot file" and "no code-related context in the UI string".
