Maybe nice for troubleshooting by default *if* you're having trouble with
plug-ins, but just makes it harder to find other problems when (in general) all
these programs are logging miscellaneous notes that really don't need to be put
there.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Console
2. Command+K to clear the Console display
3. Start Chimera
4. Go back to the Console display..

Actual Results:  
Console screen filled with notes upon Chimera.app startup.

Expected Results:  
Should be nothing except maybe one line to identify that Chimera was launched
unless a crash or error condition occurred.


Can we just have a box to check in the "general" preferences that says "Quiet
logging to Console" or something like that or turn off the extra logging by
default for release versions (but not nightly builds)?

Matt, Chimera is still in development as an application, being only at version
0.6. It's perfectly acceptable to send such information to the Console at this
point.
