+During normal usage, Bauble produces a log file which contains

+normally saved in a file on the local workstation.
+
+This preference key controls the option of sending exceptional
+conditions (WARNING and ERROR, normally related to software problems)
+to a central logging server, and developers will be notified by email
+of the fact that you encountered a problem.
+
+Logging messages at the levels Warning and Error do not contain personal
