The K Desktop Environment

Chapter 1. What is KDebugDialog

It is a dialog box for managing diagnostic messages at runtime

Here you can define separately for every severity level what should be done with the diagnostic messages of that level, and this for each debug area.

The following settings are available:

Apart from this, you can also tick the checkbox "Abort on fatal errors". In this case, if a diagnostic message with the severity level "KDEBUG_FATAL" is output, the application aborts with a SIGABRT after outputting the message.

When you close the dialog with OK, your entries apply immediately and saved in kdebugrc. When you press cancel, your entries are discarded and the old ones are restored.
