Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdepim-runtime
As it stands, the default KDE addressbook resource is a traditional .vcf file. This means that even on a clean install the KRes migrator will pop up on the first startup to convert this to an akonadi resource. This behavior presents an unnecessary dialog to the default install, cluttering the desktop. It also starts the entire akonadi stack for the purpose of running the migrator, wasting ~25-30 MB of RAM to convert this empty standard addressbook to an empty akonadi addressbook. It's a real detriment to the booting experience for KDE, and would be an excellent way to reduce the initial RAM usage of the default desktop.

You lucky one got the converter started! Though it would be unnecessary if the default addressbook type would be set to akonadi, this is better than nothing. I got nothing, no converter on my installs. Kmail just didn't find the entries I made in kaddressbook after installation. No hint at all why. But the behaviour described by you and the behaviour described by me obviously have the same culprit. So the default addressbook type really should be an akonadi resource, and if it is just to not cause newbies headaches on trying to find out why their contacts are not accessible when they want to write a new mail.
