Public bug reported:

akonadi starts a user-specific mysqld to store it's PIM data.

Like this:
akonadihome=$HOME/.local/share/akonadi/
/usr/sbin/mysqld \
        --defaults-file=$akonadihome/mysql.conf \
        --datadir=$akonadihome/db_data/ \
        --socket=$akonadihome/db_misc/mysql.socket·


With the current apparmor rules in hardy, this fails because according to
/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld, /usr/sbin/mysqld is not allowed to write to ~/.local/share/akonadi/ .

For now, this is a pain for KDE developers trying to use Kubuntu as their
development platform. In the future i'll become a pain for users trying to use
Akonadi in any way. Users will most likely disable apparmor as that is the
simples solution.
