It is usual for debug builds to link debug libraries on windows and I 
think the use case should be that this works fine mixed with a release 
build of dbus-daemon. It would not be much trouble for KDE hackers to 
configure their build of the dbus to use a different name for the 
autolaunch shared memory segment - especially if it was made a cmake 
build option, a la -DDBUS_AUTOLAUNCH_SHM_NAME=flimsebimse.
