Following your lead, I disabled everything except the korganizerplugin and 
kontact started correctly.  I then enabled them one at a time, leaving 
summaryplugin until last (keeping the specialdates = false).  Each time it 
started correctly.  Then I set the ForcedStartupPlugin to 
kontact_summaryplugin - and it wouldn't start.

It looks as though there is something it doesn't like there, as well as the 
specialdates plugin.  I now have the forced starteup set to the korganizer 
plugin, and it appears to be fine.

So - it looks as though there could be two bugs - one concerning the 
specialdates plugin, and one concerning starting in summary mode.
