Default Address Book. In Kdesettings > Ressources it still points to a vcf 
file, which I did not expect. I thought with akonadi the lot would be stored 
in some different database.

I am still trying to find out how. Actually, I can't find any entry named 
"akonadi" or similar in Yast, KDE Settings or Kontact settings. I can 
remember, though, that there was one in 4.3s KDE Settings. I have checked the 
opensuse factory 4.4 RPMs and can't find a package that contains something 
like a akonadi module for KDE settings.

If the akonadi settings is what I find under KDE Settings resources, then see 
above.
