That is not true. The debugging output is disabled in non-debug builds like debian's build, and the patch would thus make the output go away. > 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. See adeodato's reply. You could also have edited kdebugrc yourself or have changed the theme description file from the hicolor-icon-theme stuff... > What makes sn icon directory group "not valid"? For reference, the cause of this bug is that the authors of hicolor-icon-theme have taken the liberty to invent group types that kde did not expect. See one of the three bugs that have been merged with this one, the one I first filed against hicolor-icon-theme, but which was later reassigned and merged here. cheers domi
