- From what I understand (but I could be wrong here):

A) If kaddressbook hasn't been loaded yet, and you call 
startServiceByDesktopName("kaddressbook") it will start an external 
addressbook. (Why do you think that kontact would load the part and bring it 
to the front??)

B) If kaddressbook has been loaded as part already it will be brought to the 
front.

Just as with kmail, but since kmail always get loaded on startup, A) never 
happens with kmail.

Cheers,
Waldo
