Hi.

About a week ago, Nepomuk started spamming my .xsession-errors. It spams it allot. Depending on things I don't know about, it writes about 1GiB of text every 2-5minutes. I have 60GiB of free space in / at boot, so that gives me a two hour maximum to my uptime.

If I delete .xsession-errors, it will begin spamming some other file (I can't figure out which, but Dolphin will report my disk usage getting eaten up).

Disabling Nepomuk will cause the spam to continue. It will be a different message and will actually eat through disk space faster.

Googling suggested playing with kdebugdialog, but it has no effect (which was also suggested by Google).

I have attached a sample .xsession-errors.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
It just happens automatically anytime I boot. No user interaction required.

Actual Results:  
.xsession-errors is filled with huge amounts of meaningless error messages.

Expected Results:  
.xsessions-errors is not filled with meaningless error messages. If nepomuk has come across a critical error it should try to relay this to the user in a way that they can proceed to resolve it. If this cannot be done, nepomuk should exit. Exiting nepomuk should stop nepomuk related errors from being reported.

This occured about a week after updating to 4.7.1
