#1684: wrong abbreviation in pidgin.pot: "%.2f KB/s"

 In translating from pidgin.pot I found the string "%.2f KB/s". There is
 one error at least, but maybe even two:

 1) capital K refers to Kelvin, should be "k" for kilo
 2) can someone confirm that capital B is correct? B = Byte, b = bit.
 Normally bytes are used when describing storage, and bits are used for
 speed description.


 So the resulting string should become either

 a) "%.2f kB/s" = kilobytes per second, or
 b) "%.2f kb/s" = kilobits per second
