Bug#469824: kontact: Always fails on fresh install, but components work

[TreeBoy <reportbug@petethetree.co.uk>]

Package: kontact
Version: 4:3.5.9-2
Followup-For: Bug #469824


Hi there.

I am building a couple of new (to me) machines and every new install
does now allow kontact to start.

I get the following in he konsole I launch from:

WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 1) suspended.
WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 2) suspended.
WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 3) suspended.
WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 4) suspended.
QDir::exists: Empty or null file name
QDir::exists: Empty or null file name
*** KMail got signal 11 (Crashing)
KCrash: Application 'kontact' crashing...


I can start kmail, korganizer and kaddressbook independently with no
problems at all.

I have not configured any account info for these accounts.

I have another machine with exactly the same version but which has been
upgraded from previous version (I think it was installed over a year
ago) and it has not problems at all. (Indeed, I use it every day.)

If there's any more info that I can provide, please ask away.

Kind regards,
TreeBoy
