kontact does not start with 4.4RC3

[Eli Wapniarski]

OK... Current Bug Reports. A workaround follows....

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=563789
  https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218369

One thing to note: On the initial startup of Kontact Akonadi seems to freeze. 
All kontact related process and akonadi related process need to be killed and 
then from a console or the run command, one needs to run akonadiconsole to get 
things to work with the following procedure.

Please refer to:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218369

It would seem that if one were to go to:

    ~/.kde/share/config/kontact_summary.rc

and remove the

    kontact_specialdatesplugin

entry. Also...

in:

    ~/.kde/share/config/korganizerrc

I removed the :

   Special Occasion

entry

After that ... Everything seemed to work.
