Hi,

i got Kontact (Calendar & Contacts) running with google-resource for quite a 
while now and also with KDE 4.6.1. But there seems to be a problem with 
libgcal0 and akonadi-kde-resource-googledata atm. One can add the resources 
but they don't sync with google apps. But there's a solution (well, better 
call it a workaround), found at bugs.kde.org 
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264861). I compiled libgcal and akonadi-
googledata and it works again. If you want to give it a try, follow the 
instructions in comment #33
