I'm not sure if this is a good idea.
I don't think it's safe to assume that stderr will be lost if the program was started from a .desktop file.
The majority of users are double clicking .desktop files to start their applications. Where do you see stderr going to in this case?
If default debug output slows anything down noticeably, that should probably be fixed.
Several games experience this problem, but it's difficult to use the quiet fixme approach, since they have variable information. Converting the fixme's to trace's/warn's may be a viable option.
