No, I think the debug USE flag has another purpose.
You need to add '-gddb' to you CFLAGS in make.conf, and make sure that
'nostrip' or better 'splitdebug' is in your FEATURES list (the debug
code added by -gddb would be stripped away if not). This will get you a
useful backtrace in DrKonqui, if you are using KDE.

I would say so, but I'm not entirely sure. It's easier this way, but
there's a slight chance that the problem is Gentoo-specific.
