Workaround: use an external executable. Hej, if you select Skype for dailing a number, then you need a working Skype installation of course. KAddressBook starts Skype and waits until its D-Bus interface is available for further communication. It will wait 200 seconds and if no D-Bus interface shows up it will show an error message. If you want to run a custom script/application use the 'External application' entry in the config dialog. It is there for exactly this purpose. Ciao, Tobias Then it is an UI problem in that the operator does not know that Kontact is waiting for something; it looks unresponsive and is diagnosed as such by the window manager. |
