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.
