Problems starting apps after edgy->feisty upgrade !!

[Laurent]

Help!
Some apps do simply not start after I did upgrade from edgy to feisty.
Kontact, Kopete, Automatix2, etc... start loading but do never start up
completely... When I start them (Kontact as example) from a Konsole, I
get this error mesg:

# kontact

  Major opcode:  144
  Minor opcode:  3
  Resource id:  0x0
