Details:

As I moved from 0.8.10 to recent git snapshot (7d28e20f),
I began to notice something was emitted in TRACE level from logging verbosity
2
but it's not an output from my SWF's trace():

8211:1] 113 *TRACE: gnash::GtkAggGlue::GtkAggGlue() enter*
8211:1] 113 *TRACE: gnash::GtkAggGlue::GtkAggGlue() returning*

It seems that some lines of Gnash's internal (formerly-)DEBUG message
came out as a TRACE message, mixing up with SWF's trace() output.

This causes inconvenience as one would need to read the whole line
to decide whether each one is SWF's trace() output,
and it cannot be done automatically.

The fix would be either reverting the logging system back to 0.8.10-style
or provide a new means of distinguishing trace() output from gnash's internals
debug,
since the old "grep TRACE:" became not as useful.


Note: output above was obtained from my test case on
ExternalInterface problem (bug #37223 js2flash.html)
with gnash logging verbosity 2 (equivalent to gnash -vv)

Gnash: 0.8.11dev (master-21708-7d28e20)
Browser: iceweasel 3.0.6-3 from Debian repository (no addons)
System: Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 Lenny i386
