Check if there are any in ~/.xsession-errors

For debugging you could open a Konsole window, kill KWin and start from that 
Konsole session again.
It should then output to this console session.

The debug level can usually be controlled with kdebugdialog (use search field 
to just display kwin related debug areas)
