Okay.  I had tried widgetNeedsAkonadi with no luck.  The problem is that it falls through that function and then tries to use Akonadi even though it is no longer available.  I will create a new patch that wraps the initialization code in an if statement (using ServerManager::isRunning()).

Perhaps a better solution would be to start the server in the loadRecords function.  The problem with this is that "isOpen" will cause the sync to abort before loadRecords is even called.  One possible solution is to move the functionality of isOpen into the loadRecords function and get rid of isOpen calls everywhere.  This is a more invasive procedure, since it would require updating all of the existing akonadi-based conduits to eliminate the "isOpen" check, but I think it is probably the right direction to go, long-term.

The error overlay WAS displayed and the collection dialog was disabled.  Started akonadi server again, overlay disappeared and I was again able to configure a collections.  Then turned off akonadi server and started a sync.  The akonadi server was started and I synced succesfully.
