That's weired. This debug message is only in the constructor of
KInstance
called by KApplication(argc,...), otherwise it wouldn't know about the
name
kdbg at all - to create the debug message. So I would say, the way you
do it
is the only and right way. In the code (of kdecore) I can't find another
way to create a KInstance indirectly.

Beside that I think, KHelpMenu is the trick.
