vacuum, fsck, restart, alone and in every combination/permutation.

if i have to hire someone who isn't a kdepim dev to do this work, i know 
how to do that. i just don't know how to train them up to speed on this 
code base, nor how to get them and their work accepted by the existing 
team. also, i don't want to bypass the existing team -- if somebody 
wants paid contract work and loves to work on kdepim then we ought to be 
keeping the money "in the family" so to speak.
