I'll try that out just to see what it shows me.

I note that others with applets using kaddressbook data rolled their own 
simple dataengines using the kabc headers. Is this something we want to do?

Also, does this dataengine use/require the akonadi server or this is used as a 
server to "the outside world?"

I notice that there is no akonadi-client package. Maybe such an animal should 
be around and the dataengine use it.
