Huh?

While it may not be the recommended version combination from upstream, 
this just works for me. And I am thankful for that. Cause from what I read 
here I got the impression that not updating to KDEPIM 2 initially saved me 
quite some trouble.

I never had Korganizer lose all contacts and todos. But what do you mean 
by "lose" anyway?

I use Akonadi for addresses and calendar with KDEPIM 4.4.5 and PostgreSQL 
akonadi backend and aside from the occasional refusal to start PostgreSQL 
due to a left over pid file it just works.

So whats your setup? Do you use Akonadi for Korganizer? What do you mean 
by loosing its contacts and todos? Are they just not displayed anymore in 
the application? Is the original data still there?

martin at merkaba:~> ls -lh .kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics
-rw-r--r-- 1 martin martin 7,3M Apr 27 21:01 
.kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics

(your location may vary)

Anything in ~/.xsession-errors? If Akonadi in use, what does 
akonadiconsole say about status of the resource.


Well I think it would be a good thing to have a "how to report bugs" page 
for Akonadi somewhere, instead of repeating this here again and again and 
again. "Does not work" is not enough.


Anyway, the situation is like it is, whether you choose to accept it or 
not.

I agree tough that at some point its better to track upstream which is at 
KDEPIM 2 again. Its seems to me a difficult decision on when is the right 
time for that.

After I read the thread "Success with Kontact/4.8.2" I got the impression 
it might be soon.

The Debian Qt/KDE team took the conservative approach. The OpenSUSE 
maintainers followed upstream more closely. Both seemed to have its 
advantages and disadvantages to me. But from what I read here, I got the 
impression that issues with KDE SC 4.7.4 + 4.4.5 have been quite rare. 
Actually this thread seems to be the first one since quite a long time 
here. Compare that to the amount of postings regarding KDEPIM 2. But 
granted, it all also depends on how many users of each combination are 
subscribed to this mailing list and actually post when they have an issue.
