you can control what output is shown or not, bu tonly if there is a debug area 
used. run: kdebugdialog (with and without --fullmode).

note that in libplasma, kDebug() has a default area, so you don't need to 
provide it in each call.

to do the same in your own project, do this in your CMakeLists.txt file:

add_definitions(-DKDE_DEFAULT_DEBUG_AREA=1209)

and replace the "1209" (that's what we use in libplasma) with some number of 
your chosing. voila... all kDebug() calls become kDebug(<your custom debug 
area>) automagically.

woot.
