After watching a security report on how to get hacked, I remembered seeing in a 
terminal, when I run Geany from the command line, the string

```txt
VALUE=0
```

As I'm suspicious by nature I wanted to investigate whether this would be the 
consequence of malicous activity on my machine (it was not, otherwise I 
wouldn't have reported this 😆 ). With `strace` I narrowed down the search after 
seeing plugin `lineoperations` being loaded, grabbing its configuration file, 
at which moment the string is written to the console. Looking up at the source 
code, it appears in function `lo_init_prefs()` and is, IMHO, a remnant of a 
previous debug attempt. Whatever, it has nothing to do there as it might, proof 
of that here above, rise suspicion as it doesn't (seem to) follow any Gtk 
message pattern.

Here's [a 
patch](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/21956648/lo_prefs.c.patch.zip) 
I came up with to remove the "offending" line.

I haven't verified the latest source tree but it seems to appear also in Geany 
1.38 on a "recent" install of Linix Mint. And it happens with Geany 2.0 for 
sure.

Peace.
