Thanks, this seems to be a rather to the point answer.

I understand from this that in our practical life, when I change an address, 
my wife will not see this from her system immediatly, but after 
stopping/starting Kontact (with normaly will be synchrone with a logout/login 
at evening/morning). And when she during that session changes in the same 
vCard, my changes are lost.

And that wil be about the worst that can happen. Not nice, but I guess we can 
live with that.

You also hint to the fact that this maybe solved in the future (without time 
schedule).
