Do you see any output at the konsole at all? I have seen a few crashes and 
dead locks occur related to the use of resources. I suggest you attemp 
launching the components of kontact individually and find out which one causes 
kontact to fail.

Try launching individually, kmail, korganizer, akregator, etc. My experience 
with this kind of an issue has mostly been with korganizer, and my easy way 
out was to delete the resource file. I do *not* however, recommend that you 
delete it blindly.
