Nope. I start KDE as myself, an unprivilegued(sp?) user.

I have tried to start KDE as root as well and then the messages no not 
show up. But, I somehow suspect they shouldn't ever appear.

When KDE is up and running I never see anything like it. Starting a 
program from Konsole never shows these messages.

"deafulting your startup"?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I start KDE on a text console 
with "startx" which runs "startkde" -> messages appear. The 
configuration of the text console doesn't have anything to do with my 
problems, or am I wrong?

No similar messages even appear when KDE is up and running, when running 
as root or any other user.
