“With all of this talk about KDE 4.5 lately, I thought I should
take a moment to mention a tool that hasn’t had much (or any) talk
here on Ghacks. That tool is Kontact. But what is Kontact? Kontact

component individually and not have to fire up the who shebang. But
let’s assume you do want to fire up the whole kit.”
