           Summary: quantarc: multiple registration of same entries until
                    quanta hanger at program start
           Product: kontact
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

Version:           quanta 3.5.7 Linux(i686) 2.6.22.17-0.1-default Compiler: Target: i586-suse-linux (using KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

After a longer time of using quanta, the .kde/share/config/quantarc file is growing, perhaps because of the growing list of autosaved files repeating the same entries, till quanta is hanging at program start; the quantarc was then 558KB or respective 284KB long.

Sorry - but it was my first start of Quanta in SuSE10.3, which was giving this failure.
In bad luck it's possible, that this error situation is caming up as a relic of a corrected error.  
When I looked up my .kde/share/config files, I was seeing an old defect copy of quantarc from march 2007, which I renamed to quantarcKO - the described effect is a very old one.
On the other side, it was needing nearly a year of using quanta to set up this overflow situation.

Just to give an impression, a little extract from my quantarc file:
List of autosaved files=$HOME/.kde/share/apps/quanta/backups/outpico.xml.2805P6592,$HOME/.kde/share/apps/quanta/backups/outpico.xml.2805P6592,
$HOME/.kde/share/apps/quanta/backups/outpico.xml.2805P6592,$HOME/.kde/share/apps/quanta/backups/outpico.xml.2805P6592,
$HOME/.kde/share/apps/quanta/backups/outpico.xml.2805P6592,$HOME/.kde/share/apps/quanta/backups/outpico.xml.2805P6592,
$HOME/.kde/share/apps/quanta/backups/outpico.xml.2805P6592,$HOME/.kde/share/apps/quanta/backups/outpico.xml.2805P6592,
$HOME/.kde/share/apps/quanta/backups/outpico.xml.2805P6592,$HOME/.kde/share/apps/quanta/backups/outpico.xml.2805P6592,
$HOME/.kde/share/apps/quanta/backups/outpico.xml.2805P6592,$HOME/.kde/share/apps/quanta/backups/outpico.xml.2805P6592,

To go on with quanta it is necessary to kill or rename the quantarc file.
