SUMMARY
As a user I want to start a dolphin in the background from my command line without receive output from the dolphin process.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start a dolphin with "dolphin > /dev/null &"
2. The shell still receives the output from stderr

OBSERVED RESULT
$  dolphin > /dev/null &

Your shell has a built-in method to do this which works with any program:

dolphin >/dev/null 2>&1

No need to add a special thing to Dolphin. :)

Or use kdebugsettings to disable all dolphin output
