Thank you very much, Kevin. I am at the university right now so I
cannot check, and when I get home it will be for 4 hours of sleep so
I'd like to avoid experimentation if possible. What would be the
consequence of using the --allow-gui when Kontact is open? Might I
corrupt something? In other words, why is this an option and not the
default, might it have dire consequences that the user should know of
beforehand?
