Review request for KDE Software on Mac OS X and kdelibs.


Repository: kdelibs


Description
-------

Applications can be defined in their CMake file as being `NOGUI`, but until now this has had very limited effect. Especially on OS X, those applications can still construct a minimal GUI and thus have "visual presence" in the Dock and application switcher (and have a menubar as well).

This patch proposes to define a preprocessor token, `KDE_WITHOUT_GUI`, for those targets, and uses that token to set the default value for the `GUIenabled` option of the `KApplication` and `KUniqueApplication` classes.

This could potentially be combined on OS X with the CoreFoundation call that turns a running application into an "agent" (see https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/120354).

Diff: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/120363/diff/


Testing
-------

On OS X 10.6.8 with kdelibs 4.14.1 (git/kde4.14), rebuilt kdelibs, kde-workspace, kde-runtime, kde-baseapps, kdepim-runtime and nepomuk-core.
If the documentation I read is correct, the `GUIenabled` switch has no effect on Linux, so this patch shouldn't have any either on that OS.


Thanks,

René J.V. Bertin
