It compiles just fine, and runs.  However, the import dialogs to read any of my 
existing files (vcard or ical) doesn't seem to have any way to see hidden (dot) 
files, so unless I rename or link .kde4 (or wherever I have those files) I 
can't import them.  Am I missing something in the dialog, or is it just 
something they never thought of?

??? On my box, the import dialog seems to want a CSV file--are we looking at 
the same thing?
The default filter for contacts does start as .csv, but even if you change the dropdown 
to all files, there is no way I can see for it to include "hidden" directories 
(starting with a dot).  That is (hopefully) simply some parameter they haven't passed to 
whatever actual file find dialog they are calling.  For finding a calendar file, the 
filter starts as .ics (I think) but again, the issue is not really the files, it's the 
folders, and all my contacts and calendar files are under ~/.kde4.

OK, yes...that looks like a GtkFileChooser, which has a set-show-hidden 
function that is not being used. Adding a toggle-button to show hidden files 
would be a nice UI touch.
