I haven't see this question on the kde-pim list - you asked how to remove a 
Summary problem.  Was there another thread?

That seems a very strange list of files -

ls ~/.kde/share/apps/kontact/
default-akregator.rc  
default-kaddressbook.rc  
default-knode.rc
default-calendar.rc   
default-kjots.rc         
default-knotes.rc
default-journal.rc    
default-kmail.rc         
default-todo.rc

I doubt if this is anything to do with your Summary problem.  I'd rename all 
config files that refer to any of the kde-pim applications and let it start a 
blank session.  If that works, pull back, one at a time, the important config 
files.  Re-create rather than restore anything that's reasonable quick to re-
create.
