Has more been done with this? Anyone had more success? I have been able to run 
kontact directly from console (but I had to start konsole, it did not work 
with unix, custom, console) and it worked, but a bit slowly, also any helper 
apps were not available on the desktop, but showed in the taskbar (ie 
kdewallet KOrganiser etc)

I have also run kontact --nofork directly with similar results, but a lot of 
cpu is taken and the helper apps are still not available.

Thanks for the good work so far!
