Hello KDE users!

I have problem with Kontact since KDE 4.3.x (now I'm using 4.4.1). In earlier version (KDE 3) I had summary with calendar, holidays, notes and mail notifications in left column of summary and RSS (Akregator) channels in right column. I can't do the same thing with new Kontact - left column takes all summary window I don't have Akregator plugin in Summary configuration but Akregator is of course installed:

stalker@bgbackup:~> rpm -qa | grep akregator
akregator-4.4.1-203.5.x86_64

stalker@bgbackup:~> rpm -qa | grep kontact
kontact-debuginfo-4.4.1-203.5.x86_64
kontact-4.4.1-203.5.x86_64

stalker@bgbackup:~> ls -al /usr/lib64/kde4/ | grep akregator

I looked into old Kontact summary configuration file:

stalker@bgbackup:~> cat /home/stalker/.kde/share/config/kontact_summaryrc
ActiveSummaries=kontact_specialdatesplugin,kontact_kmailplugin,kontact_todoplugin,kontact_newstickerplugin,kontact_knotesplugin,kontact_weatherplugin
LeftColumnSummaries=kontact_kmailplugin,kontact_specialdatesplugin,kontact_weatherplugin,kontact_knotesplugin
RightColumnSummaries=kontact_newstickerplugin

Now I looked into new configuration:

stalker@bgbackup:~> cat /home/stalker/.kde4/share/config/kontact_summaryrc
ActiveSummaries=kontact_todoplugin,kontact_specialdatesplugin,kontact_kmailplugin,kontact_knotesplugin,kontact_akregatorplugin
LeftColumnSummaries=kontact_kmailplugin,kontact_todoplugin,kontact_specialdatesplugin,kontact_knotesplugin
RightColumnSummaries=

Sooo... kontact_newstickerplugin has changed name to kontact_akregatorplugin, as I see in listing from /usr/lib64/kde4. I closed Kontact and manually added kontact_akregatorplugin to configuration file. Now it looks like this one:

ActiveSummaries=kontact_specialdatesplugin,kontact_kmailplugin,kontact_todoplugin,kontact_akregatorplugin,kontact_knotesplugin,kontact_weatherplugin
LeftColumnSummaries=kontact_kmailplugin,kontact_todoplugin,kontact_specialdatesplugin,kontact_knotesplugin
RightColumnSummaries=kontact_akregatorplugin

I opened Kontact again and... no Akregator channels in right column. I opened configuration file once again and saw that kontact_akregatorplugin dissapeared - now the last line in this file looks like this:

RightColumnSummaries=

Summary configuration window looks like on attached snapshot (in Polish, but you can see no Akregator icon in plugins window):

Can you please explain it to me and help me to tame new Kontact? People at openSUSE forum where I was seeking for help suggested it's not openSUSE related problem.

Cheers!

OK - since it works perfectly as you describe on my system, it's very likely something simple. Sheer guesswork, then. If you hover over the left or right edges (try right first) of your summary page. I'm expecting that you will find a -||- showing that the divider has been accidentally set to the extreme edge.

Thanks for tip but this is not a point As you can see on previously attached screenshot right column exists but is empty. Also summary configuration window lacks of Akregator plugin.

Which OS are you using?

OK, I had misunderstood you. You are correct that there is no akregator plugin - at least there isn't here on Fedora 12. I thought that you were saying you couldn't arrange the sections between the two panes as you had done before. That, of course, still works.

I don't recall an akregator plugin, but then I probably wouldn't have used it anyway as I have quite a lot of feeds, so that doesn't mean much. If you want notification that new feeds have arrived you can, of course, use the tray icon option in akregator configuration.

Akregator plugin in summary configuration window could (should!) be configured separately of "main" Akregator. I mean: in my Akregator (which works well under Kontact but not in summary) I have dozens of channels. In old Kontact (KDE 3.x) I had many channels subscribed but in right panel were only four channels most interesting for me. I could choose these four channels in summary's Akregator plugin which is missing now...

Thank four your help!

It may, of course, be in preparation. The best way to tell is to file a bug/wish for it and see what feedback you get.
