Is it normal that every KDE (4.4.0) application is generating an awful
lot of debug messages on stderr? When I start one from the terminal (be
it Dolphin, Konqueror or whatever) the output generated is pretty much
gigantic. It's stuff like this:
QPainter::setPen: Painter not active
QPainter::font: Painter not active
QPainter::font: Painter not active
QPainter::setFont: Painter not active
QPainter::setPen: Painter not active
QPainter::font: Painter not active
konqueror(12426)/kio (Slave) KIO::Slave::createSlave: createSlave
"file" for KUrl("file:///usr/share/apps/kdeui/about/box-top-
middle.png")
konqueror(12426)/kio (KIOConnection)
KIO::ConnectionServer::listenForRemote: Listening on "local:/tmp
/ksocket-realnc/konquerorb12426.slave-socket"

kio_file(12431)/kio (kioslave) KIO::SlaveBase::mimeType: "image/png"
kio_file(12433)/kio (kioslave) KIO::SlaveBase::mimeType: "image/png"
kio_file(12435)/kio (kioslave) KIO::SlaveBase::mimeType: "image/png"
konqueror(12426)/kio (Slave) KIO::Slave::createSlave: createSlave
"file" for KUrl("file:///usr/share/apps/kdeui/about/box-middle-
left.png")
kio_file(12443) kdemain: Starting 12443
[...]
[etc, etc, ad infinitum]
Currently, after about 2 hours of uptime, my ~/.xsession-errors is about
12MB big and full with those debug messages.
The "debug" USE flag is globally disabled. What's going on? I doubt
this is intended behavior.
