Debugging normal applications in kde is done just like any other
application and plenty of tutorials are exist for that.

On a side note. debuginfo packages should match the real packages
precisely. Even the same package version built in a different
environment could potentially create debuginfo which is not compatible
with the library built elsewhere. For that reason if you build a src
rpm to generate a debuginfo package then you should only install it
together with the other packages created from the same build.

For packages in fedora and fedora-updates the debuginfo packages can
be installed using "debuginfo-install package-name".

Kde-redhat doesnt provide debuginfo packages in the repo but the
packages that make up kde-redhat are built on the fedora build system
so the debuginfo packages can be found in koji
(http://koji.fedoraproject.org). The kdebluetooth packages are at
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=4781 so just
download the debuginfo to go with the version you have
