"Path '/kontact/MainWindow_1/com.trolltech.Qt.QWidget' is not a valid path 
name."

Never used that before, and not sure what I'm looking for, but filtering on 
kontact gives me


org.kde.kontact
org.kde.nepomuk.services.nepomukontologyloader

Connected to D-Bus.

Just one thing that I have noticed, and I don't know whether it's significant 
or not.  When I've tried to launch Kontact I have to kill it - and I use 
System Activity Monitor for that.  Killing Kontact leaves many kio-files 
behind.  Killing one (sometimes two) takes most of the others with it, but 
there is always one left behind.  It appears to be related to the launcher.  
If more information can be gathered from that, please tell me what to check 
for, since the monitor does show quite a bit of information about the 
processes.
