            Bug ID: 334016
           Summary: After change to baloo, regression, summary does not
                    show the upcoming birthdays any more
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kontact
           Version: 4.13.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: contacts
          Assignee: tokoe at kde.org
          Reporter: stakanov at freenet.de

After taking off nepomuk and changing to baloo, kontact shows a regression, the
special dates of the calendar (like holidays etc.) are correctly listed, but
the data of special events for contacts (like birthdays and anniversaries) are
not. 
This is odd because birthdays and anniversaries when missed may cause loss of
business contracts, divorce and broken dishes. So from anniversary we could
soon be at "enemyversaries". Trust me, please restore the function if possible. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open Kontact (after installation of 13.0 and migration finished), baloo is
running, indexing is available for the complete home directory.
2. open summary 
3. admire that the 1st of may i.e. will be listed, but the anniversary of your
i.e. you wife in a fortnight no. 
Actual Results:  
Special events from calendar are shown but not for the contacts. Birthdays are
left out. 

Expected Results:  
Brain-dead people should have a help in their day by day challenge and kontact
should keep track of the birthdays and anniversaries of the contact list shall
it be private or business. 


I will put this normal because it does not break email functionality but for
the business functionality this is more "A.B. normal" and a real annoyance. One
jokes about but "faux pas" like these can be costly.

As I have no clue where the error might be, I tried to start from the terminal
to see if some errors arise. There is one, but I do not have any idea if it is
the culprit:
In terminal: 
kontact
Connecting to deprecated signal
QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString)
kontact(10491) KDirWatch::removeDir: doesn't know
"/home/mercurio/.kde4/share/apps/messageviewer/themes/" 
kontact(10491) KDirWatch::removeDir: doesn't know
"/usr/share/kde4/apps/messageviewer/themes/" 
json_parser - syntax error found,  forcing abort, Line 1 Column 0 
kontact(10491)/kdeui (kdelibs): No such XML file
"/home/mercurio/.kde4/share/apps/kontact/default-.rc" 

Hope that helps.
