Try replacing line 16-17 in catalog/includes/application_top.php and admin/includes/application_top.php

// set the level of error reporting
  error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

With:

// set the level of error reporting
  error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED);

Found this in the Drupal site by the way.

Looking at the long list of deprecated features in PHP 5.3.0 I get the impression that if you want to replace all the code with deprecated functions we might as well do a total rewrite and use superglobals everywhere.
But then we might as well better start using osC v3. Pity there doesn't seem to be any progress in that area

So for the time being I believe adding the ~E_DEPRECATED will at least be needed too. Frankly, I'm amazed that these are the only error messages since for example all the session_ functions are deprecated too.

Not all of them, just the ones related to registering variables. Anyway, someone fixed those already:

  function tep_session_register($variable) {
	global $session_started;

	if ($session_started == true) {
	  if (PHP_VERSION < 4.3) {
		return session_register($variable);
	  } else {
		if (isset($GLOBALS[$variable])) {
		  $_SESSION[$variable] =& $GLOBALS[$variable];
		} else {
		  $_SESSION[$variable] = null;
		}
	  }
	}

	return false;
  }

  function tep_session_is_registered($variable) {
	if (PHP_VERSION < 4.3) {
	  return session_is_registered($variable);
	} else {
	  return isset($_SESSION) && array_key_exists($variable, $_SESSION);
	}
  }

  function tep_session_unregister($variable) {
	if (PHP_VERSION < 4.3) {
	  return session_unregister($variable);
	} else {
	  unset($_SESSION[$variable]);
	}
  }

The deprecated version is only used for PHP versions less than 4.3. Since they weren't deprecated until 5.3, that will work fine.
