Hmm I didn't have any files in there, there were all under 
~/.kde3.5/share/apps/*

I have set up conventional files or directories for all categories in there 
(kmail, addressbook, notes, calendar) but it still tries to start Akonadi.

Thanks I know that.

Nepomuk is not pulled in here.  Akonadi of course is another matter, because 
of the kdepim hardcoded dependency.

Grateful for any more ideas to make that bloody akonadi give up.  :-)
