Sorry if this bug report sounded harsh, it was really not my intention. I 
didn't know if you had time to do something after I talked to you on IRC, so I 
filed a bug report that it is not forgotten. I tried to summarize the main 
points again here, but I guess I failed at doing it properly.

OK, it is indeed locking fine in Plastique. I'll report it to the oxygen 
people. I only mentioned it as a reason to go back to the old "Select 
Components" button.

Oh, ok, sorry then. I guess the problems I reported here were not that obvious 
then, though they seemed to me because I am more involved with Kontact.

Do you think I should open a new report for that?

Ah yes, I repeated myself here.

I think so too.

I understand your time problems. Thanks for all the Phonon work you've done, 
it is a great peace of software.

OK, I'll try to be a bit more task-oriented now. I found some more issus (and 
added the old ones at the end):

a) 
Although the summary does not have a checkbox in the treewidget to disable it, 
it actually has a checkbox in the right pane (the "component enabled" one). 
If an item has a checkbox in the right pane, it should have one in the 
treewidget as well.
b)
"component enabled" should be capitalized, but I'm not a native speaker 
either, so I don't know the proper wording. And we're already in the string 
freeze.
c)
When I disable the checkmark for "Pending To-dos", the entry goes grey and 
there is no way to enable it again, even after a restart.
d)
Enabling/Disabling plugins have only an effect after restarting Kontact. I 
haven't checked yet if this is a bug in Kontact or in the dialog.
e)
Disabling the summary does not seem to have an effect until you have disabled 
all childs (pending to-dos, upcoming special events, and components)

(old bugs now)
f)
"Components" has a checkbox although it is nothing you can disable
g)
KPluginInfos without associated KCMs can not be disabled.


Again, sorry for this hastly written and harsh bug report.
