Description kakashizilla 2010-03-12 13:50:17 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Open a terminal (konsole, xterm, or other) an launch 
an application like gwenview, kmail, etc...
Even if you terminate the line with a &, the terminal
is ‘polluted’ by messages from the application, for instance
here is some lines after I have launch kmail :

kio_pop3(7930) POP3Protocol::get: Finishing up list
kio_pop3(7930) POP3Protocol::pop3_open:

In consequence you cannot use this terminal anymore, since
the messages will appear whatever you are doing !
This is very problematic if you want to use ‘less’ or ‘nano’,
and the only solution is to open another terminal.

Hello,

I have found a tip : run 'nohup <application> &',
and all messages go into the file 'nohup.out'

I don't think this should be seen as a bug. There is nothing wrong for a program to dump debugging messages onto stderr when running.

You can alos use kdebugdialog to supress thoes messages.
