With all due respect, I don't think you're supposed to work around it.
The reason assertions exist is to pop up those notices when something
is amiss. There's an assert statement in the code to catch the case
where openrect finds a NULL window handle. The fact that you're seeing
it means that something failed in the code and you got to someplace
you shouldn't have been able to get to.

OK - having said that, since you're launching this from a commandline,
you might try piping the output to a file or to dev/nul

app -ui arg1 arg2 arg3 > delete.me
app -ui arg1 arg2 arg3 > /dev/nul

but filing a bug on this with the QCC would be useful as well.
