This is pretty standard for KDE, at least on Slackware. On my Slackware-12
installation, as well as previous versions, these messages are logged to
the console. I have always attributed it to overzealous error-reporting on
the part of KDE, and I've never noticed any related problem actually
manifesting.

I don't recognize this error; it may be new in -current.

This much is similar on Slackware-12.
