Something I missed from your initial post:

So what actually happens is that whenever you switch to debug mode a window may 
start popping up at a 3-5 minute interval which never shows its own content 
(showing its backdrop instead)? 

Could this be a misbehaving kioslave which tries to pretend to be one of 
KDevelop's windows (using setTransientXXX or some similar call)?

I understand you can in fact interact with its borders; what happens when you 
click somewhere inside this "invisible" window? Seemingly nothing, correct?

If so, you could simply use the old xwininfo tool to obtain some information 
about the window. I cannot tell you off the top of my head how to obtain process 
information from there but maybe someone else can tell you that.
