And for a the debug log, if you use a normal DM (xdm, slim, gdm,..) normally
the stdout/stderr of xfce processes is redirected to ~/.xsession-errors ...
it's like this on my debian and openbsd installs.

also, ps waux | grep 'your plugin', get the pid, and gdb -p 'pid', then 'c'
to let the plugin continue its execution inside gdb.

HTH,
