My take on this is, yes, it is intentional that stdout from applications be
discarded in the normal case. Many applications are quite noisy and we would
not want that output flooding slim.log, or whatever.
Of late there are massive numbers of GTK assertions coming from firefox about
atom != None failed and also XID collision, trouble ahead.
You may try it for a few days and see how you like it. Of course doing it
locally to debug something is an entirely different matter.
