I'm far from a Linux or Java noob and I spent literally hours trying to get it 
working, to no avail. Calendars would get some entries but I couldn't get 
anything else. There's also the contacts suggested/added problem I mentioned 
earlier.

If there is a real demand for this (which their seems to be) people should file 
a wishlist bug to support Google APIs natively from Kontact and I'll write an 
Akonadi plugin to do so when 4.2 is released.
