            Bug ID: 361621
           Summary: kdeinit5 and other plasma 5 tools fill syslog with too
                    many messages
           Product: frameworks-kinit
           Version: 5.18.0
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: fa...@kde.org
          Reporter: michal.petru...@kde.koniiiik.org
                CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org

kdeinit5, kscreen_backend_launcher, kwin_x11, xembedsniproxy, and a bunch of
other programs keep writing massive amounts of verbose messages into the
syslog, making it pretty much impossible to find any meaningful messages in
there.

On kde4, these messages were all logged on stderr, which means they ended up in
the user's .xsession-errors instead of the global system log. IMO, the user's
homedir is where they belong, since all those messages are only ever relevant
to the user running the plasma/kde session, and moreover, most systems I have
worked with do not grant access to system logs to regular users.

Reproducible: Always
