/** @file guistart.cpp
 ** Start up the Lumiera GTK GUI when loading it as dynamic module.
 ** This plugin is linked together with the Lumiera GUI code; when loaded as
 ** Lumiera plugin, it allows to kick off the GTK main event loop and thus to bring
 ** up the GUI. The loading and shutdown process is carried out by gui::GuiFacade and
 ** controlled by lumiera::AppState, which in turn is activated by Lumiera main().
 ** 
 ** After successfully loading this module, a call to #kickOff is expected to be
 ** issued, passing a termination signal (callback) to be executed when the GUI
 ** terminates. The \c kickOff() call remains blocked within the main GTK event loop;
 ** thus typically this call should be issued within a separate dedicated GUI thread.
 ** Especially, the gui::GuiRunner will ensure this to happen.
 ** 
 ** Prior to entering the GTK event loop, all primary "business" interface of the GUI
 ** will be opened (currently as of 1/09 this is the interface gui::GuiNotification.)
 **
 ** @see lumiera::AppState
 ** @see gui::GuiFacade
 ** @see guifacade.cpp
 ** @see gui::GtkLumiera#main the GTK GUI main
