Here, here Günther. I believe this is the "right" solution. A simple
"switch", that I think, would appeal to everybody.

Then I won't see the important messages (key-codes, lyxfuns, ...)
in the
status line.

The purpose (preventing spurious bug reports that take up our time) is
good. Maybe the means is not optimal (as it also leads to never-ending
