Above you have "image cache" and "items cache", additionally you
can find 
| #: src/plugins/libravatar/libravatar_prefs.c:112
| #, fuzzy
| msgid "_Use cached icons"
| msgstr "Icons aus dem Cache verwenden"
in the po-file.

Do image (cache), item (cache) and (cached) icons refer to one and the
same thing or to different things?
