Comment 3 for bug 1239753

oh sorry, maliit-server is handled my upstart, so to stop it:

$ initctl stop maliit-server

and to start it with test ability either

$ echo exec maliit-server -testability > ~/.config/upstart/maliit-server.override && initctl startmaliit-server
( don't forget to rm that file when your done )

or this should do it too:
$ initctl set-env QT_LOAD_TESTABILITY=1 && start maliit-server
