Package: konqueror
Version: 4:4.4.5-1
Severity: important
SUMMARY
Linux is known of programs working in standard manner:
- Normal message to stdoout
- Error messages to stdout
The debug messages are not displayed, unless specifically enabled via:
- Command line options (-d, --debug or similar)
- Environment variables (PROGRAM_DEBUG=1, or similar)
- UI (Menu -> Debug, or similar)
By always sending output to the screen causes multiple problems:
- Programm differes from the rest of the 99.99% utilities in Linux.
- It gaves wrong impression: does this program have problems?
- It's makes it harder to tell good messages from bad
- It causes havoc on 3rd party programs (see below)
- It requires doing "extra hoops"
* In scripts
* In command line
Please suppress debug messages by default, enable only when requested.
DESCRIPTION
For some reason kfmclient sends debug messages in normal use. An
example
konqueror &
kfmclient newTab /usr/local
kfmclient(17331) ClientApp::doIt: Creating ClientApp
Qt: Session management error: None of the authentication protocols
specified are supported
kfmclient(17331) ClientApp::createNewWindow: KUrl("file:///usr/local")
mimetype= ""
This may not look a problem, but it causes wrecking the UI in 3rd
party applications. Am example:
1. Configure Emacs, Gnus and connect to group gmane.linux.debian.devel.*
2. Configure Emacs to browse URLs in konqueror
3. In Gnus news reader interface reading artile, click on URL at
*Article* buffer
=> The article content (or any buffer in that matter) is wrecked by
inserting the response from the kfmclient
This is how the output was inserted into an artile. See lined marked
with "*" to the left. The problem is even worse in *Summary* buffer
where the whole threading of messages goes beserk due to these
messages.

Jordi, I can't speak for Russ, but not only I do understand you: I can
grant you lot of people, including some DDs, do.*
But before this conversation goes on forever - which is tipically what
happens when people think they are debating on methods and techniques
while instead they diverge on motivations - does the following satisfy
you:
* kfmclient(17124) ClientApp::doIt: Creating ClientApp
* kfmclient(17124) ClientApp::createNewWindow:
