Since recent update from kde 4.10.2 to 4.10.5, running user applications linked against qt4 can trigger annoying junk message "Reading ras files from sequential devices not supported" on stderr.  This message is apparently generated by the kde plugin component kimg_ras.so in routine RASHandler::canRead().  This bug has a history on the web for various builds of KDE in other distros, but has only now shown up on my Mageia machines. 

Note: The message seems to trigger whenever the user app accesses a pixmap buffer using QPixmap::fromImage(image).  But I do not really understand why a KDE plugin is involved in this process.  Possibly there is another source for this message besides king_ras.so?
