Assuming as an example that you want to debug the io-slave for http, you can 
(re)start kdeinit in a konsole terminal like this:
	KDE_SLAVE_DEBUG_WAIT=http kdeinit

Now, when a http slave gets loaded by kdeinit it will get suspended till you 
either manually tell it to continue or till you attach gdb to it.

See kdebase/kioslave/DEBUG.howto for more information.

It can also be usefull to redirect the debug output of your particular slave 
to a file instead of stderr. E.g. I myself use the following lines in 
$KDEDIR/share/config/kdebugrc:

[7113]
InfoOutput=0
InfoFilename=/tmp/http
[7103]
InfoOutput=0
InfoFilename=/tmp/http

This redirects all debug info for areas 7103 and 7113 (as used by kio_http) 
to the file /tmp/http.

Cheers,
Waldo
