That's very old. This has been turned into a separate "kdebugdialog" program, \
since... a long time ago. If you can find where you read that, it'd be good to fix \

In ~/.xsession-errors if you start X using xdm.
Or simply restart kdeinit in a terminal, typing "kdeinit", you'll see the output \
there.
