everyone is affected with any of them, as far as I can see. Anyway, the
latest updates broke my Kontact, so here's what I've gathered as
work-arounds.
Since the update, Kontact will not start, and it appears to be unrelated
to mysql or nepomuk.
First work-around - all the apps run as stand-alone apps, so it's possible
to get by while the cause of this is being sought.
KMail still suffers from delays and freezes when sending, the fix for
which is
promised in 4.4.1. It's possible to work around this as a temporary
measure.
Second workaround - close kontact or kmail and kaddressbook if you are
running
stand-alone apps. Disable strigi in systemsettings. Stop nepomuk, delete
the
database and restart nepomukserver. The actual commands you need are (as
user)
qdbus org.kde.NepomukServer /nepomukserver org.kde.NepomukServer.quit
rm -r .kde/share/apps/nepomuk
nepomukserver
This will, of course, wipe out all the database, including any tags you've
added. In theory, I understand that it's possible to do a more selective
wipe
of the database. If this matters to you you can find the instructions at

Hope this helps some of you :-)

You are talking about 2 different issues here? 1) kontact will not start 2)
kmail delays?
Are you saying the same workaround applies to both?
I have noticed kmail hangs for several seconds on sending - which I hadn't
noticed before 4.4 - but it doesn't hang long enough to be annoying. Is
that what you mean?
