I am running KDE 4.4.4 Stable from the openSuSE Repository for KDE 4.4.4 stable as included with 11.3.
At first after initial installation Kontact worked and I could access Email, Address Book, Calendar, etc. from the icon bar.
Now, Kontact starts, opens the Summary page, but no selections respond, only the Kwin responds to terminate the application, it just seems to hang and has to be killed to terminate.
Anyone have similar issue or ideas on what may be causing it? I can start KMail, Kaddressbook, as separate applications and all respond as normal.
try launching kontact from within a console and check the console output for errors.
A first approach would be renaming your ~/.kde4/share/config/kontactrc and restart kontact.
Thanks. I renamed the kontactrc files and launched from console. The summary page does display and it is correct, but then nothing responds, menu, icons, etc. Pressing the X to close the window finally brings up the terminate konsole message which is the only way it will die. I’ve attached the output from console mode below.

Any other thoughts on why this may be happening? I moved kontactrc and kontactsummaryrc to start fresh, and still it hangs. All the components appear to work fine separately, KMail, KOrganizer, KAddressbook, etc.
