hmm perhaps I don't get what you mean, anyway you know kipi plugins are libraries
don't you? So to debug them you should compile them and your host application
in debug mode (--enable-debug=full) and then debug your host application.

Finding an Author? As far as I I know they're still alive :)

Try that, compile and install all in your home, use kbuildsycoca
and debug your host application, or use kdDebug instead....
