I don't know the serlook sources, but you can generally turn a lot of debugging off with kdebugdialog. However, you need to tell the serlook folks about your wish : http://serlook.sunsite.dk/
I did looked in serlook sources and saw that messages are generated by calls to qDebug function. These calls are not conditioned by some #ifdef. I could be fixed by a big patch, but (in the event you make it) you should send it upstream.
