Errr, its not about me, the developer of the app. Its about users who cannot 
distinguish code that I put in a library versus code that I put in an app. When 
my users say "your app is broken", I want to be able to say "please mr. user, 
run kdebugdialog, enable my debug output, run the app from the command line, 
and send me the results".

As I understand it, debug output is off by default, and I have to ask for it to 
be enabled.

Thanks, Shaheed
