Hi all, I decided to give 4.4 a try and it does feel better than the beta that I tried and made me go back to 4.3 but I cannot get kontact to work for me. kmail, kaddressbook, korganizer etc all work fine standalone but kontact refuses to start. I made sure that akonadi is running before starting it up, removed kontactrc and .kde/share/apps/kontact and I get messages like these in the console: > <unknown program name>(2118)/: Communication problem with "kontact" , it > probably crashed. Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" > : " "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote > application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked > the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was > broken."
