You can have a local kdbgstream object. The endl warning is mainly for older 
compilers and it seems Qt does not support them any longer, so this is indeed 
no longer an issue.

I must admit I like to use qDebug way more than kDebug these days too, but
the area is a really good addition for KDE (libraries). So I think we should 
try to overload qDebug(int) and leave kDebug() as it is. 

Please investigate how much code you would have to duplicate, but API-wise 
this sounds the best solution to me.
