Yes, the PID is definitely what I meant, it's very much needed, for the case of multiple
daemons running in the background and outputting debug into the same file. The PID
is then useful for killing a run-away daemon, or for attaching gdb to it, etc.

Without the PID, impossible to notice that these two lines come from two different
processes, for instance:
20:29:11 konqueror(2630) kdemain: Unknown class "" in session saved data! 
20:29:11 konqueror(2625) KonqSessionManager::askUserToRestoreAutosavedAbandonedSessions: "/home/dfaure/.kde4/share/apps/konqueror/autosave/owned_by_1.33/_1.60"
