There's also the question of why the LibrarianLayer needs to use launchpadlib.

In any case, Benji and I have tracked it down to a bug in the KDE libs.  
You're supposed to be able to turn off debug output using kdedebugdialog, but 
it seems to be totally broken and the apps ignore the settings.

The message is logged when if you don't pass a valid UI window ID that it 
presumably uses for password input.  Benji worked around it by creating a fake 
window.

Thanks to Benji!
