Every intergrateable component (/plugin) of Kontact should be installed not by Kontact, but by the components themselves. E.g. if you install KNode, it installs its component into Kontact, same for KMail etc :)
It is really annoying for newbies to see a cryptic error message for something they usually don't even know or think of something different. A backward step for the usability. If a Doe clicks on News (at least it is so in my russian i18n - News on Russian), he thinks of latest news and not of newsgroups - and if he clicks there, he doesn't get wrong (from his POV) functionality, but an error message about something being broken. -- Kontact sidebar with knode even if knode not installed https://launchpad.net/bugs/36247 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
