The patch only downgrades the severity of the diagnostic. I'd still like to know whst an end-user like me can do to avoid /hundreds/ of these useless messages every time a KDE program is run, especially if there's not going to be another KDE release after the current 3.2.3, which doesn't have the patch.
What makes sn icon directory group "not valid"? Do we need to delete a cache? Do we need to remove old files? Do we need to just blow away the packages that install them?
