Hi!

While testing error conditions in kabcclient [1] I encountered a 
KABC::AddressBook behaviour I didn't expect.

In version 0.5 [2] I used code like this
--------
m_addressBook = KABC::StdAddressBook::self(true);

KABC::StdAddressBook::setAutomaticSave(false);

QObject::connect(m_addressBook,
                SIGNAL(addressBookChanged(AddressBook*)),
                this, SLOT(slotAddressBookLoaded()));
-------
which worked flawlessly until I removed the write flags 
from .kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf in order to test failure when saving.

The unexpected behaviour: no signal is emitted and the following error message 
is written:
kabcclient: ERROR: Unable to open resource 'resource-name'!

Tested on KDE 3.3.2 from KDE unstable packages and SVN trunk from yesterday 
around 18:00 GMT

I changed to synchronous loading, but I am curious if I misunderstood the 
meaning of the signal and if I should have used a different one.

Cheers,
Kevin
