[KDE/Mac] Some issues found while testing branch 'KDE4.13'

["René J.V. Bertin"]

Hello

Replying via Apple Mail because something somewhere in KDE's intestines has decided all of a sudden that it's a good idea to send smtps://XX@YY using the http protocol ...
(yesterday night at the same time I discovered that Qt4-mac no longer resized content after resizing a window ... had to reinstall it ...)

But you do have them installed?

kate at least should have an icon set when you have the iconutil utility. The last 2 in that list aren't supposed to have one AFAIK.

accountwizzard, seriously?

> kalarm, kmail, kontact, korganizer

Could that be in any way related to the baloo-related changes?

Those aren't new or related to 4.13. The karm message is expected, but it ought to launch ktimetracker, which fails evidently.
A Qt/C++ guru should look into what goes wrong with loading the kpart.

Good luck, and sorry for not being of more help ...
