This strikes me as odd behavior. Is this correct:
- Any category that is used in a program, but is not explicity specified in
the config file will inherit from the root category
- There is no way to completely disable a category
If I have some categories that I want to use for, say, debugging, and I want
end-users to be unaware of the categories, how do I do it? If the
categories are mentioned in the config file, the user will ask questions
that I don't want to answer. If the categories are not mentioned in the
config file, then all the categories will start printing.
Is the only solution to
1. Load the configuration
2. Take a list of your known categories, and
a. See whether it Category.exists("CAT")
b. If it does not exist, create it and set its priority to FATAL.
3. Avoid using FATAL priority in any optional categories otherwise they
can't be switched off.

Below are some properties I took note of from a collection of log4j emails.
I've never used the log4j.threshold property.
I have managed to disable ALL logging and restart all though.
// @see email correspondence: 27th September 2001 in Log4J mailing
list
// "Subject: Re: Restarting logging after Disabling logging from a
Configuration File"
// may affect system logging too unfortunately
log4j.disableOverride = true //restarts all logging
log4j.disable = DEBUG
log4j.enable = ON //log4j version 1.2
