my first take would be to convert gD to use the python logging module 
(e.g. logging.info(), .error(), .debug(), etc. instead of the print 
statements). After that things like logging into separate files should 
be relatively easy (not sure if it's reasonable to set up multiple files 
instead of one with prefixes for different IDs).

Isn't there a "talkback" system for gnome somewhere? Something that 
would uniform the error reporting on the gnome desktop?

cheers,
