1. I did not start it from the console. Some other kde program that I started from the console apparently needed kded.
2. Even if I wanted, I couldn't start kded in any other way, since as far as I can see there is no entry anywhere in any menu. Or can you find one?
3. There is no policy I know of that says that problems when running a kde application from the console should be ignored. (The "Clicki-bunti don't touch the keyboard, you are in Windows land now, where you only need and only are allowed to use one finger of those ten on your hand" policy). Or is there?

I didn't turn debugging on. I wouldn't even know how if I wanted.

not really a bug IMHO.

So what is this behaveour then? A feature? Not really or is it? Thus I'm
changing the Status from "Invalid" to "New".

This behaveour fills the console with garbage while one is trying to do
some useful work, you know, like editing a file in vim (dauntingly
inside a console, wheee!) for example.

But check out that kded's dump. It doesn't say that it is in debug mode.
It says that it can't find some file that it _needs_. So either that
file should be included or it shouldn't be needed. And if it's not
needed than kded should *warn* at most *1* time about the fact and not
whine uncessantly about it filling the console with noise.

** Changed in: kde4libs (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => New
