Okay, thanks, that explains why I now see the messages when 
previously I did not. Commit 5354555 was pushed to git sufficiently 
close to the k->tde renaming patches. I would not have noticed 
because I was not updating my local source tree during the period I 
helped test the renaming patches with Slavek.

That said, for consistency KIOConnection should be renamed to 
TDEIOConnection.

Whether a WARNING or ERROR, the messages are caused by something 
not functioning correctly, especially the ERROR messages.

I understand that commit 5354555 fixed a long standing problem of 
certain messages not being exposed but now that we have that fixed 
we must focus on why the messages are generated. As you shared, the 
messages were always being generated, which means a problem 
somewhere, despite the messages never being seen by anyone.

At this point I now don't know whether the original three messages 
I posted are a result of the renaming or a result of commit 5354555 
now making those messages available and the bugs actually have 
existed for a long time and nobody had any way to know.
