I think we need to find another solution to run platform app without the ui. 
Your implementation creates two possible cases - shell with ui and shell 
without ui. You have the hasUI() method to check for that and use it in the 
shell. But now all our code _has_ to do this check as well - all our plugins, 
etc have to check hasUI() before they call core()->uiController()-
>something(). This is IMHO not acceptable.

I think the easiest way would be to just run the application without showing 
the mainwindow.
