msgid "Shutting down IrDA: "

This could probably be changed to
"Starting $prog: "
and
"Shutting down $prog: "

The reason is that "IrDA" shouldn't be translated anyway, so substituting
the name with a run-time environment variable $prog saves translators a lot
of work, instead of having to translate each similar message seperately.
