Public bug reported:
kdelibs5=4:4.4.3a-0ubuntu1~ppa1
I just noticed my .xsession-errors file is FULL of messages that would
qualify as being as unimportant as LOG_NOTICE.

That seems a bit verbose. On a production system with little disk
space, such as the one I'm using now, it is a problem. On the system of
a casual, computer illiterate user, it would probably grow indefinitely
and become a BIG PROBLEM. It also makes tracking down errors more
difficult--needles in haystacks.
Most of the messages are normal status messages from various KDE
libraries and apps so picking a package means picking dozens. Don't
worry, KDE. I'm not just picking on you. Firefox is another culprit.
Is there a debug level setting for a KDE session? Maybe KDE should add
a syslog type service and log to a different file altogether. A syslog
type service for KDE could be useful in other ways too--prepending PID,
app name, and library to a log message might be useful when things
really do go wrong.
.KDE-session-errors, anyone? Separating KDE and X messages seems like
it might be a nice idea as well.
For your log reading enjoyment, here are a few snippets:
