kdevelop and many kde applications are linked as non console
application. Because of this no putput is generated by default. I had
added some code to enable the own or parents console windows, but
unfortunally mostly messages go to /dev/null because klauncher for
example runs as hidden console app.

In the recent binary kdelibs package from download.cegit.de I added some
experimental stuff to redirect all kde and qt debug output to the win32
debug message port  (I reported in this mailing list)
If you are not using this binary release you should apply the appended
patch to your kdelibs source and rebuild kdecore. Additional you have to
install the DbgView tool from www.sysinternals.com
