kontact does not start with 4.4RC3

[Eli Wapniarski]

OK.... This should be my final report on this issue.

The error messages I got were about the existence of old error logs. Once I 
removed them (again) and logged in and out I wasn't bothered again with 
Akonadi start up messages. This needs to be handled more gracefully in my 
opinion.

Last Problem..... Nepomuk.... If Nepomuk is not activated with Strigi also 
activated then an error message appears saying that Nepomuk is not active and 
Akonadi doesn't seem to start properly. Once active kontact work beautifully. 
However, other IO intensive apps are impacted badly by the indexing. How I 
worked around that was to uncheck any folder that was being indexed and 
everything seems to be working the way it should, except nepomuk (sorta 
defeats the purpose of nepomuk doesn't it). Does anybody know how to get 
nepomuk to stop indexing unless the system is idle or the screensaver is off?

Anyway.... that's it from the peanut gallery.

Again.... great job everybody.
