KDE msg spew

[Clyde E. Kunkel]

When using kde programs as root from a gnome terminal, kde spews msgs 
that fill and overflow my 1000 line scroll buffer.  How do I stop this 
spew?  > /dev/null doesn't help.  TIA

Small (very small) sample:

kded(3871)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::useINotify: trying to use 
inotify for monitoring
kded(3871)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::useINotify: inotify 
successfully used for monitoring
kded(3871)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::addEntry: Added File 
"/usr/share/applications/kde4/kmousetool.desktop" for "" ["KDirWatch-1"]
kded(3871)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::useINotify: trying to use
