The abbrowser conduit is part of KPilot and is responsible for talking to 
KAddressBook; somewhere in that code I do:

        // abbrowser not running, start it
        KURL::List noargs;
        KRun::run(abbrowserName, noargs);

and now I have a bugreport (http://bugs.kde.org/db/28/28104.html) that says 
it crashes, and the backtrace included with the report shows that it's 
crashing inside of KRun, while sending startup notofication info. 

The abbrowser conduit is a curious KDE app since it has no GUI; it just does 
DCOP in the background for a while and then dies, so my KApplication 
constructor is:

	fApp=new KApplication(false,false);

I guess creating the QWidget used for the startup notification fails when 
there is no GUI part enabled.

I can work around it in the conduit, simply by changing the KApplication 
parameters, but this might be a problem for other apps as well. We should 
turn off startup notification for non-GUI apps.
