Well, then, close kontact (with ctrl-W, not just by closing the window), and 
start up each of the components directly: kmail, knode, akregator, 
korganizer (note, korgac - the reminder daemon starts independently), and 
whatever else you have active in kontact.  That way you should find which 
one is looking for localhost.
