Got email from the upstream author who pointed out (and I just confirmed) that once you've started, hit *Settings, *Configure KPhotoAlbum, under the "General" Tab, "Miscellaneous" section, you can uncheck *Listen for Android devices on startup.
I believe that for Debian this should certainly default to unchecked. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
