            Bug ID: 452285
           Summary: Cannot disable or enable plugin conponents, such as
                    KJots or Zanshin, anymore
           Product: kontact
           Version: 5.19.3
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: till2.schaefer at uni-dortmund.de
  Target Milestone: ---

In previous versions of Kontact, I was able to disable and enable components
(e.g., KJots, Calendar, Zanshin) by enableing or disabling a checkbox in front
of the component in the settings window. Now I cannot find any such option
anymore, which is a problem in two ways: 

1. I cannot re-enable previously disabled views
2. The components sidebar is cluttered with irrelevant components and this
sidebar is different on different computers regarding the components installed
there. For example, if Zanshin is not installed the component is not show. This
also changes short cut assignments, since  Ctrl+Number is associated with the
ordered view in that sidebar. This in turn makes them hard to use when working
in different environments.

Current workaround is to enable/disable plugins manually via kontactrc (see my
example below).

Thus, I would like to see an option again to enable / disable components.
