thanks for the clarification, makes a lot of sense not to run akonadi, 
when it is not needed.

Your assumption is correct, when kaddressbook crashes through 
starting akonadi, the process hangs and it seems it is in the saved 
session. If I kill the kaddressbook process (kill <pid>), then it is not 
started.

With respect to the kaddressbook problem this makes no difference 
though:
-> kaddressbook tries to start akonadi
-> akonadi is started, but kaddressbook does not display an 
addressbook
-> exiting kaddressbook, leaves a kaddressbook process
-> restarting kaddressbook is only possible if I kill the old process 
manually, but then it restart correctly with my addressbook.

Thanks,
Rainer
