Bug#1039998: kwin-wayland: kwin_wayland_wrapper spams thousands of messages to the journal

[mister01x@web.de]

Package: kwin-wayland
Version: 4:5.27.5-3
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: mister01x@web.de

Dear Maintainer,

kwin_wayland_wrapper writes thousands of lines a day to the journal.
A majority of those lines read:

Jun 30 13:10:11 kwin_wayland_wrapper[5999]: kwin_screencast: Dropping a
screencast frame because the compositor is slow

This makes it hard to read the journal as those messages come in rapid
succession at least 2 pages (on my terminal) per second.

On my system here i get:

$ journalctl --since today | grep "Dropping a screencast frame because\
the compositor is slow" | wc -l
29393

And:

$ journalctl --since today | grep kwin_wayland_wrapper | wc -l
39132

I think that this is an over excessive amount of messages to the journal
as it makes it harder to find messages of other programs which are not
that verbose. Therefore I consider this behaviour to be a bug.

Thanks for maintaining kwin-wayland!

Marcel
