I'm still on 9.1 here.  The old Kaddressbook (assuming you use kmail, of 
course) was the /home/your_username/.kde/share/apps/kab    --  If it has been 
changed in the newest version of kde I wouldn't know.   One way to check is 
to open it up and see if it is an addressbook file.  Kwrite can read the 
contents.
I like Anne's solution of renaming .kde to something else.  Then you can 
always restore from the backup.  Probably still have to use the "import" 
function in the addressbook to restore the addresses, though.  I don't know 
why simply copying the kab has never worked for me.  But first, does a new 
user have the same icon problem on the desktop, or not?

Back to the Christmas ham, now.
