if you want to debug the providers, as they are separate processes, and
started by OAF, you must use gdb. That is, all g_print output won't be
shown on the console.

So, the best thing, if we want to log debug messages, we might want to
use the gda_log functions. For GNOME 1.x, all messages sent via
gda_log_* are stored in GConf database. For GNOME 2, they do nothing.
There is a bug in bugzilla for this.
