            Bug ID: 382351
           Summary: plasma launchers (alt-f2 or panel) log all stdout and
                    stderr into .xsession-errors
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: 5.8.7
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
          Reporter: a...@laxu.de
                CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
  Target Milestone: 1.0

The plasma-desktop in debian testing(buster) (4:5.8.7.1-1) logs all stderr from
programs started via the panel (icons-only-taskmanager) or the runner (alt-f2)
to .xsession-errors, which grows to hundreds of megabytes depending on the
program.

Steps to reproduce:
- create a small script*, place it in ~/bin/test.sh and chmod +x ~/bin/test.sh
- press alt-f2
- run "~/bin/test.sh"
- run tail ~/.xsession-errors in a terminal

Expected behaviour:
- output is discarded

Actual behaviour:
- All output is logged into the .xsession-errors file, which grows bigger and
bigger

* Simplest testscript:
#!/bin/bash
echo test

See also: Bug 360757. Seems to be the same issue, but I think it is assigned to
the wrong project.
