Agreed.
There might also be different defaults, e.g. maybe you want your contacts from 
emails in a different addressbook then when adding them through an explicit 
interface like KAddressBook.
Or different defaults for contacts and contact groups (distribution lists).

However, applications which show such a selection dialog for the first time 
might want to know if there is some folder selected as default in the main 
addressbook application, e.g. for pre-selecting it.

Cheers,
Kevin
