Luckily I keep backups of my home directory. I just went into the backup
and cd 'd into /.kde/share/apps/

Then copy the entire kabc directory to your new home .kde/share/apps
directory. That'll put it to rights. My beef with the vcard method is
that it doesn't restore your "filters". I've got over 1,500 records and
to loose all of the filter data is just to large a sin to condone. I'm
royally jerked that my bug was closed, with the note that it would be
fixed in the new release of KDE. I guess if I waited for that I would be
out in the cold with all of my data to just go idly pound sand. X{ Ric
