Well first time i started my system i was blocked while it was
impossible to use the addressbook, but in fact i think that is our
mistake and not from devs, you just need to create your addressbook in
akonadi and afrer all application worked fine and use it. Kmail,
kopete, konqueror include. Maybe adding a notice that we need create
this new addressbook can be a good things but i don't see as a defekt
anyway.

Great work , it work flawlessly :D
