As expected. I fixed it permanently by, moving the old configs (in
.kde/share/config) away in my user account, log in to my old user
account, starting kontact once and cp the rest of the not fresh
created configs back. I diffed the old stuff against the new stuff,
but to be honest it was way to much output for my spare time to find
the culprit. So, sorry, that's all help i can offer.
