Part of the problem is that some of the configuration is in KAddressBook, as 
you say, but it's also necessary to know about the KResource section, 
particularly if you use more than one addressbook.  I'd rather see it all in 
one place - either in KAddressBook, or with a clear direction from 
KAddressBook to the KResource section of SystemSettings.

I've written it all up on UserBase, of course, but many people don't seem to 
know about it yet ;-(
