I don't see a significant difference in configuring Kontact or the 
stand-alone applications. The configuration steps are IMO the same except 
that you have some more main windows on your screen instead of switching 
between them in Kontact.

Configuration problems are left AFAICS in the area of the resource 
management in the addressbook application. While the solution in KOrganizer 
is really good because you can keep an overview over different resources, 
in KAddressbook you're lost when you try to use more than one resource in 
parallel. You never know where the contact comes from or where a new one 
gets stored into if you don't have the control center with the resource 
configuration page open.
