A few hours after I wrote that, all hell let loose.  I downgraded again, but 
found lots of problems with Kontact after a re-login, so I tried a reboot.  
Now I can't launch kontact at all.  I can't remove kontact to get a clean 
install without taking out most of KDE, so I'm stuck.  I don't know what to 
try next.
