Hmm, the current approach relies on each part having at most 1 widget.
You can have several parts in one library (that's the case for example
for libkdevoutputviews), but they don't know about each other.

Perhaps one could have one "controller part" which is created first
when the user chooses Debug from the menus. The debugger library
then provides a reimplementation of KParts::Factory::createPart()
which casts the parent argument to a controller part, so that
each created debugger part can communicate with the controller part.
