These programs don't allow writing the contact entries in a LDAP server, just
reading. Should Kontact leave allowing full access to LDAP because it?
Anyway, I don't consider this point so important, in fact it's not so wrong to
call the menu entry "File".

The point here is that most applications have a "File" menu entry even if they
don't deal with "real" files. And the users are used to it, so no problem.
