I just got a mail from Joachim Schiele that seems to have found a workaround for the problem with the access. The problem seems to be stale lockfiles in ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/lock. Removing the files (or the whole folder, it gets recreated automatically) solves the problem.
The question where these files come from and the meaningless errormessage remain though... regards Ulrich -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
