Peculiar behaviour of akonadi

Among the problems I'm having with F13 is the very strange behaviour of akonadi. I had been running kontact earlier, and shut it down. While trying to troubleshoot this problem I've used System Activity Monitor to close the left-behind threads, I've tried logging out to clear any left-overs, and I've even rebooted. The situation now is this: A kontact tab sits in my taskbar - but I can't access kontact. The 'Starting Akonadi server....' progress bar has been running back and forth for several minutes. Nepomuk is running, Strigi isn't. $ akonadictl status Akonadi Control: running Akonadi Server: running Akonadi Server Search Support: available (backend: Virtuoso) This is after an 'akonadictl stop' and 'akonadictl start'.
