Bug#646152: notification-daemon: needlessly dumps debug data to .xsession-errors

[brian m. carlson]

Package: notification-daemon
Version: 0.7.3-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/lib/notification-daemon/notification-daemon

I see a decent number of debug messages that notification-daemon writes
to stdout or stderr and which therefore end up in .xsession-errors.  The
Unix Way is, unless otherwise requested, to operate silently unless an
error occurs.  If these messages do indicate a real error, please fix
that error; otherwise, please silence them.

My goal is to have a completely empty .xsession-errors except for actual
errors (which will then be reported as bugs in their own right).

Example messages:

  ** (notification-daemon:2773): DEBUG: Adding id 5
  ** (notification-daemon:2773): DEBUG: Notification closed - removing from queue
  ** (notification-daemon:2773): DEBUG: Removing id 5
  ** (notification-daemon:2773): DEBUG: Adding id 6
  ** (notification-daemon:2773): DEBUG: Already showing bubbles
  ** (notification-daemon:2773): DEBUG: Bubble destroyed
  ** (notification-daemon:2773): DEBUG: Bubble is transient
  ** (notification-daemon:2773): DEBUG: Bubble destroyed
  ** (notification-daemon:2773): DEBUG: Bubble is transient
  ** (notification-daemon:2773): DEBUG: Notification closed - removing from queue
  ** (notification-daemon:2773): DEBUG: Removing id 6
