I'm not a kde programmer but I'd guess that the app is calling old APIs.
The programmer probably needs to update it.

You can redirect the stdout and stderr to /dev/null when running from
cli so that you dont get the messages.

kview 2>/dev/null > /dev/null

You might want to write a wrapper if you're doing this with a lot of
programs

mywrapper kview

#!/bin/sh
#mywrapper script to redirect output from given command
APP=$1
shift 1
$APP $@ > /dev/null 2>/dev/null
