There's a good deal of confusion around, about this. On this laptop, for
instance, it was brand-new, therefore a clean install. When I started
kontact, it carried out first-run. At that point I had no addressbok set up -
so I ended up with an empty ~/.local/share/contacts. At that point I'm left
guessing. And I might say, that I've seen other users perplexed at the same
point.
In fact I copied my std.vcf from the old laptop, set it as an addressbook,
then simply copied all the entries into Personal Contacts. As far as I can
tell there were no ill effects. But users shouldn't be left guessing like
this.
