I would agree (after all we've been doing the same in KDE, it helps to 
understand where a warning or error comes from). But for this to be possible, 
we're back at the discussion of how to specify a category when calling qDebug 
or qWarning, and I thought the conclusion was "no"...

In other words I like your idea, but there's no API to actually make it 
possible...
