I have had this problem twice, once with kde 4.4.4 and now with 4.6, and 
have never solved it. The major mystery is Where on the system is the 
file containing all the contacts that I see displayed in the contacts 
window? I have not been able to locate it. A search for *.vcf shows no 
candidates.

I can add one detail to Neal's description that may be of help in 
addressing the problem. In my earlier problem, I had two address books 
(Personal Contacts and default) as does Neal, and the behavior was 
precisely as he describes.  In the present case, there is only Personal 
Contacts, and I can add, edit, and delete contacts normally, and access 
the address book from kmail. I have no idea if this difference is 
significant or of what it means.
