Using _p for marking translateable strings messes up xgettext

Description

In sugar-toolkit, the xgettext invocation (which generates the POT files) is hardcoded to look for _ as translateable marker, and hence all strings with _p get ignored.

Is there any specific reason you are using _p ? If there is any reason, we can try to figure out how to make sugar-toolkit understand _p, and if not, it would be best to revert to _ instead of _p

It seems that both sugar-toolkit and pootle are o.k with pgettext.

Fixing as per the comment above, re-open if the use of _p (pgettext) crashes in some way xgettext.

FWIW I've just switched Clock over to _ instead of _p, seems to be testing fine.
