Bug#870093: plasma-desktop: plasma launchers log all stdout and stderr into .xsession-errors
Package: plasma-desktop
Version: 4:5.8.7.1-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
KDE plasma writes all stdout/stderr from programs launched in the
plasmashell into .xsession-errors. This does not only create a huge
logfile depending on the program, but is also a privacy risk for example
when some browser extensions write debug output on the console
containing urls or other sensitive information.
I filed an upstream bug here:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382351
possibly debian could implement some workaround until the problem is
handled in upstream.
with kind regards,
Alexander Schier
