Right now, just not implemented.

When porting KDE applications, we simply comment out the 
disableDcopRegistration code because, in the future, we may want to have 
a function for that.

The problem is that QDBus::sessionBus() is a connect-on-first-use 
function, so there's no way you can make it not connect. What you can do 
is make KApplication not complain that it is not connected and ignore the 
error.

I have tried to make the functions work and return valid pointers even if 
it's not connected, but you have to be extra careful.

Finally, we decided that KApplication is going to be in kdeui and is going 
to be used for GUI applications only. If you're writing a non-GUI 
application, you can use QCoreApplication and initialise any KDE 
subsystems that you may require yourself. So, even though we may add an 
equivalent for disableDcopRegistration(), kxml_compiler has to be ported 
to not use KApplication anyways.
