How do I stop terminal output from being written to ~/.xession-error
 

OS: Fedora 14 64bit, GNOME desktop

I have a QT GUI application that prints out diagnostic information to the terminal while running. I run this application from a terminal when I am in debug mode; but for actual use, the applcation is launced through a launcher (icon) on the desktop. When the application is launched from the launcher, the terminal output for it gets sent to .xsession-error.

How do I prevent this behavior without modifying .xsession-error? (While still maintaining the ability to see the diagnostic print outs when launched directly from a terminal?)

Hello,

you may change the launcher by issuing "command &> /dev/null" instead of "command".
