This is brain-dead! Best is to just ask the user to have a database with the appropriate access details ready. As it is, for a desktop app, it doesn't make sense to tell user to go configure a postgresql or even mysql database. Why not just use sqlite or mysql embedded instead? Requirement of postgresql for a desktop app is just plain dumb, even for a fan such as myself. Suddenly, the mysql embedded move by amarok and akonadi devs makes sense (if it didn't already).
