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  *
