After upgrade to Kubuntu 12.04 the sender's picture from the normal akonadi based address book are no longer displayed in kmail's decorative Email-header-view. The x-face's, if include in an email, are still displayed! Kubuntu amd64 12.04 with KDE 4.8.2: kmail displays no sender's picture! Kubuntu amd64 12.04 with KDE 4.8.3 (kubuntu ppa): kmail displays no sender's picture, too!
nepomuk works for you ?
How can I check it, if nepomuk works correct? If I type nepomukserver in a terminal, I receive this answer: "Nepomuk server already running."
what does `ps x |grep nepomuk` return ?
ps x |grep nepomuk return: 1542 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/bin/akonadi_nepomuk_feeder --identifier akonadi_nepomuk_feeder 1581 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/bin/nepomukserver 1583 ?

The results are the same on these three workstations. On 2 workstations I have newly installed Kubuntu 12.04. One workstation I have upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04. Before the upgrade mostly sender's picture are shown in the decorative Email-header-view. Only the sender's picture composed by exchange mailer were not shown in 11.10 (see my comment here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=284695#c11).
I can confirm that bug. On openSUSE 12.1 with KDE 4.7.2 it worked fine. After upgrade to KDE 4.8.4, the pictures stopped to show. I use Akonadi Google resources for my address books in KAddressBook (there I see contact face pictures). After downgrade back to 4.7.2 the pictures are not displayed. Nepomuk is working and seems to be fine. $ ps x |grep nepomuk 2121 ? Sl 0:06 kdeinit4: nepomukserver [kdeinit] 2131 ? SNl 1:14 /usr/bin/nepomukservicestub nepomukstorage 2152 ?

Work fine here. Please update and make sure that contact is indexed.
Now I use openSUSE 12.2 with KDE 4.9.1 and it does not work. Well, sometimes for few contacts yes, but generally not. I have all contacts in Akonadi Google and in KAddressbook I see them. How to ensure, that contacts are indexed? Nepomuk/strigi is running. It might be another bug. ;-)
no just it's not indexed :) In 4.9.2 there is a tool to look at what is indexed.
OK, so how to fix that? ;-) I think I'm not only one trying to fix it ;-)
