So true. Well I hope it solves your needs for the time being. :-) It's called KOrganizer because that's the specific "komponent"... KDE has something called kparts to embed qt applications within each other, and thus Kontact is a cumulation of KMail, KOrganizer, etc. but it doesn't have to load everything until requested, it probably checks to see if the other apps are configured before polling said app from time to time.
Lightweight, not really, but heavy is almost a push if you're using anything Qt-based at the same time the overhead isn't bad. For large multi-user contact and calendar management, obviously web stuff is probably the more scalable way, for now at least. I'm sure there's some Java desktop app out there that works standalone like dtcm, and the overhead would be about the same as I'm sure something Java-related is always running, well on S10 there is.
