Description Andreas Zeller 2010-06-25 10:54:48 UTC
Version:           4.4.2 (using KDE 4.4.2) 
OS:                Linux

I disable some Modules (e-Mail, News, Notes, Journals). After restarting Kontact, I tried to open the Preferences ("Kontact einrichten...") and Kontact crashes. If I disable a Module but not restart Koncact, the Preferences work probably.

I think /home/user/.kde/share/config/kontactrc is corrupted after disabling the modules and closing Kontact.

When I delete kontactrc and restart Kontact, the File is recreated and I can open the Preferances.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
start Kontact
disable at least one Module
close Kontact
restart Kontact
try to open the Kontact Preferences
delete /home/user/.kde/share/config/kontactrc
restart Kontact

Actual Results:  
Kontact works but I can't disable Modules.

Expected Results:  
It should be possible to disable Modules and use the Preferences.

This is a fresh Installation of Kubuntu 10.04 I didn't change a lot jet.
