20 * @short Provides methods to ControlGui the Akonadi server process.
21 *
22 * This class provides synchronous methods (ie. use a sub-eventloop)
23 * to ControlGui the Akonadi service. For asynchronous methods see
24 * Akonadi::ServerManager.
25 *
26 * The most important method in here is widgetNeedsAkonadi(). It is
27 * recommended to call it with every top-level widget of your application
28 * as argument, assuming your application relies on Akonadi being operational
29 * of course.
30 *
31 * While the Akonadi server automatically started by Akonadi::Session
32 * on first use, it might be necessary for some use-cases to guarantee
33 * a running Akonadi service at some point. This can be done using
34 * start().
35 *
36 * Example:
37 *
38 * @code
39 *
40 * if ( !Akonadi::ControlGui::start() ) {
41 * qDebug() << "Unable to start Akonadi server, exit application";
42 * return 1;
43 * } else {
44 * ...
45 * }
46 *
47 * @endcode
48 *
