+  Constructs an application object with \a argc command line arguments
+  in \a argv. If \a GUIenabled is TRUE, a GUI application is
+  constructed, otherwise a non-GUI (console) application is created.
+  If \a SMEnabled is TRUE, session management support is enabled (default).
+
+  Set \a GUIenabled to FALSE for programs without a graphical user
+  interface that should be able to run without a window system.
+
+  Set \a SMEnabled to FALSE to disable session management.
+  Session management cannot be enabled at a later time if disabled here.
+
+  On X11, the window system is initialized if \a GUIenabled is TRUE.
+  If \a GUIenabled is FALSE, the application does not connect to the
+  X-server.
+  On Windows and Macintosh, currently the window system is always
+  initialized, regardless of the value of GUIenabled. This may change in
+  future versions of Qt.
+
+  The following example shows how to create an application that
+  uses a graphical interface when available.
+  \code
+  int main( int argc, char **argv )
+  {
+#ifdef Q_WS_X11
+    bool useGUI = getenv( "DISPLAY" ) != 0;
+#else
+    bool useGUI = TRUE;
