It's disconcerting to see a pile of warnings when you run programs from
the command line, sometimes they are completely unimportant to you, only
of interest to those writing the software, but you have no way of
knowing that.

One thing to bear in mind is that, often, software has a variety of
options to it as to how it's going to do a task, and you're seeing the
options that got discarded.  

e.g. If I run mplayer, I get a slew of messages about not being able to
use IPv6, an infra-red remote control, and other things.  None of which
stop it doing what I've asked it to do, at that time.  And most of those
things, I can identify and not care about.

But when it comes to the things like you saw, you cannot tell if there's
a software problem, or it's just reporting things that are unimportant
to the program working.  Various dbus warning messages do look like
error reports, when you see them whiz by.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
