Wait, Wait, Wait.
1) The difference between console apps and GUI apps is that console apps actually have stdin, stdout and stderr streams. So using or not using a console app actually depends on if you need to have these streams!
2) In kde4 (as in standard cmake) the default when you use add_executable is a console application, and if you add WIN32 you'll get a GUI application. In kf5 it was decided that it makes much more sense to mark non-gui applications explicitly, similar to how it is done in qmake (CONFIG += CONSOLE); this is done by the set_target_properties or the ecm macro.
About your problem of console windows: there is a different solution for that (it depends on the way the executables are run in QProcess), but I would need to look into the KDE4 code which starts kdeinit4.exe. kdeinit4 *is* a console app.
