Does KDE applications write more messages to stout than gtk+/GNOME applications?

I don't know about that, but most GNOME/GTK applications don't write anything to stdout. (I know of at least one exception, though.)

firefox sure dumps a lot of stuff out to the terminal (I don't know if that is the one exception you were thinking of, but I don't run many other gnome/gtk programs)

At least in Debian its output is thus redirected to /dev/null

If I remember correctly, the version of Sylpheed that was in Debian Woody would write things to the terminal.

Yes. I use GNOME but start most programs from an xterm (well, gnome-terminal) and GTK2 programs are almost always polite. KDE programs, OTOH, spew lots of crap which render the terminal useless until the KDE program is killed.
