It would be very easy -- with the exception of people that
run Zope as "root" (and later switch the process user).

This silly silent logging during startup was only
implemented to avoid problems occuring when Zope starts up
as root and later switches.

Zope could easily start logging as soon as it had read
the configuration file and had seen that it is not going
to switch users.

But unfortunately, there are errors that are not reported
via the product's "Traceback" tab.
The only reliable source is the logfile.
