   I just installed openSUSE 13.2 for shiggles and oddly they ship a 
debug version of rosegarden.  Anybody know how to get in touch with the 
package maintainer and find out why?  I assume the maintainer's name is 
buried in this RPM file someplace.

   I tried going through the KDE desktop themes, but I couldn't get rg 
to crash.  Maybe I should try gnome?

 What I've done is replace if DEBUG with if DEBUG_QT_WARNINGS in the
 conditional compile.

   It should run fine after that.  Seems like most people who run into 
this issue are only complaining about too much debug output, not any 
sort of real problems with png files.  It's just colorspace crap anyway. 
  Probably just makes the colors look wrong, worst-case.

   Another option is to do away with it altogether.  Developers can just 
put the variable in their environment and get the crash on warning 
effect (IIRC, not looking at the code right now).  But that assumes that 
it's ok for distros to ship debug versions of rg for general use.  That 
doesn't seem right to me.  I'd like to find out why they did this.  Was 
it simple negligence, or some sort of openSUSE policy?  Or just 
something about rg they didn't like?

   If anyone has any tips on tracking down openSUSE maintainers, let me 
know.

Ted.

 it makes it easier for them to provide useful crash reports.

   Yeah, that's a good point.  I hadn't really considered it.

   Maybe we need two levels of debug.  One for users to maximize their 
ability to help.  And one for developers to maximize their pain. 
(Basically, your DEBUG_QT_WARNINGS.)  Nah, sounds complicated.  All that 
autotools stuff blows my mind as it is.

 If they're
 going to do something weird and non-standard like that, though, it would
 be good of them to adopt a weird and non-standard patch to main.cpp to
 go along with this.

   I guess.  Or we could just remove the setenv() call.  It's easy for 
us to just add it to our .bashrc or IDE config and continue to get the 
checking.  I certainly didn't foresee something as convoluted as libpng 
warnings crashing rg when I added that.  I think this has caused enough 
grief to warrant removal at this point.  The camel's back appears to be 
broken.
