kontact does not start with 4.4RC3

[Christos Lazaridis]

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." "
> 
> kontact(2119)/khtml (caret) DOM::Selection::moveTo: Selection[ Position(
> 0x0 "null" : 0 ) Position( 0x0 "null" : 0 ) Position( 0x0 "null" : 0 )
> Position( 0x0 "null" : 0 ) 1 ] Position( 0x0 "null" : 0 ) Position( 0x0
> "null" : 0 )

ideas?

thanks,
  Christos.
