Description of problem: On a clean install of F13 I can run KMail, KAddressBook, KOrganizer and Akregator as stand-alone applications, but Kontact's display will not launch. The command 'qdbus org.kde.kontact /kontact/MainWindow_1.com.trolltech.Qt.QWidget.show' does not cause the gui to start. While logged out of KDE I renamed ~/.kde and logged in to get a clean start. The Kontact gui started immediately. I then added my remote file calendar, and closed Kontact. When I started Kontact again I got 261 error messages before the gui displayed. The messages flashed too quickly to read, but seemed to mention compatibility bridge. When they finally stopped, I was left with a frozen display. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.4.2-1.fc13 How reproducible: Constant Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: thomasj requested a bug report.
This has been marked as being KDE bug no. 227636. I think this is unlikely to be the case, as Kontact has been starting successfully in Fedora 12 for quite a long time, now. It's the Fedora 13 version that is broken.
I should also remark that I had a long IRC conversation with thomasj, where we checked that the command known to make the Kontact UI show it didn't work in this case. He came to the conclusion that it is not the same bug as he had been working on.

This is a issue which needs to be reported upstream. Please file a report at http://bugs.kde.org Please add upstream report info to this report. We will monitor the upstream report for a resolution. Thanks for the report -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
I was firmly under the impression that I had done so, but the absence of a bug number report here casts doubt on that. It may be that I resolved the problem in an IRC session. It appears that many people have the problem if kmailrc and summaryrc address the SpecialDates plugin. Removing any reference to that plugin resolves the problem. Do you still want me to report upstream?
Yes please, the additional information will be useful to upstream.
Hmmm, this bug already links to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=227636
I can't add anything further, I'm afraid. Sorry. I haven't had that problem since I reported that it was sorted, though another user did report the same problem on the kde forum two days ago. That seems to imply that a bug somewhere did get fixed in an upgrade (which he hasn't yet applied), but I have no indication which one.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
