I tried to run a standalone non-GUI program using ki18n:

  #include <QDebug>
  #include <KLocalizedString>

  int main (int argc, char *argv[])
  {
      setlocale (LC_ALL, "");
      KLocalizedString::setApplicationDomain("test-ki18n-01");
      qDebug() << i18n("Delete %1?", i18n("file"));
      return 0;
  }

and got abort with this message:

  QScriptEngine: Must construct a Q(Core)Application before a QScriptEngine

It does work when I add only

  #include <QCoreApplication>
  ...
  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?
