And, indeed, there are a lot of other things in QtCore that break if you do not have a \
QCoreApplication instance.  In short, if you are making a Qt application (GUI or not), you need \
to create an instance of QCoreApplication (or one of its subclasses).

It does work when I add only

  #include &lt;QCoreApplication&gt;
  ...
  QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

What is the reason that this is necessary? If one does want to use ki18n in
non-Qt-UI program, would it be inappropriate (in whatever way) to
nevertheless require creation of QCoreApplication?
