I previously had 2 address books there. Now just "Personal Contacts" - having 
two new contacts.

I have three red crosses there, at 'std.ics', 'std.vcf and at 'Personal 
Calendar'.

No, just the two new contacts.

I have rolling backups plus one 'static' (replaced by a newer one manually 
from time to time).

Anyways, I searched for *.vcf in ~/.kde and voila:
/usr/oms/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf
seems to hold all my contacts.

kaddressbook's 'import' function from the menu worked like a charm :-)

Thanks for your help - your mail inspired me to search for *.vcf.
