Need Help - I hosed my Kontact installation!

[Mark Phillips]

Kontact is back up. I am not sure how I accomplished this, but this is what I 
did:

1. Deleted contents of /tmp - Craig White's suggestion
2. Started each application in Kontact one at a time - Kmail, Korganizer, 
Knotes, KAddressbook, etc.
3. Started Kontact....and it came up!

I must be living right......

Thanks for all your help!
