[kdepim-users] Kontact issues - fails to start if it can't open KWallet, Akonadi still mangling contact files

[Alexander Harrowell]

I think I have found a way to break Kontact in KDE4.6. Having upgraded my 
system, I had to restart Kontact, and suddenly it didn't work. Much fiddling 
showed that all the individual components worked properly as standalone apps. At 
some point I noticed a KWallet message to the effect that "an app may be 
misbehaving".

On a reboot, Kontact works again. I think the issue is that if you forget to 
tell KWallet to "allow always" it fails to send the request for access to the 
wallet, can't open some resource, and crashes. But it's not evident that this is 
happening - no error message, I can't find anything in system logs, no sign of 
it in the KWallet manager.

And Shiny New Akonadi has truncated my contacts file after 11 KB again and 
inserted a bunch of random invalid characters. Fortunately I have backups.
