how about a developer KCM

[Nate Graham]

No objections, sounds like a good idea to me. I would even say it should 
be something that gets built when you compile Plasma from source, and in 
this case, you just automatically get it. That way regular users will 
never see it, and developers always will, with no configuration or 
secret Konami codes or anything required.
