I disagree. Kontact (like most other applications with a graphical user 
interface) are not tailored for being run in a terminal.

The messages that Kontact (and many, if not most, other GUI applications) 
writes to the terminal can be helpful when debugging problems. Usually, it 
ends up in your system log from where you can pull it when you are 
investigating or reporting a problem.

Other messages are output by libraries that are used by Kontact. They are 
meant to inform users of those libraries (i.e. the developers of Kontact) 
about potential problems or about something that's going to change in a future 
version of the library. The developers consider those messages and decide 
whether it's necessary to act now or later or never.
