I'm sensing a 6.0.1 release forming on the astral plane...

nah, jokes apart, why I was asking, was because another user recently had 
success running the 6.0.0 appimage *after* removing resident linphone 
config from the *ubuntu* package, under .config and .local in the home 
directory, and your answer now is narrowing down where the problem lies, 
IMO.

you'd want to backup these files rather if you wanted to test that 
hypothesis, or what I'd do, I'd probably create a new desktop user, copy 
the new appimage over, and thus have one user to run 5.2.6 and another one 
with a *fresh* 6.0.0, and then could look and compare their user files

but I'm having a hunch that would be a slow way of finding recent changes 
in conf syntax or -parsing that the devs would know about already

I agree this shouldn't happen and 'bug' seems to be the word. AFAICT, the 
active issue tracker is at 
https://github.com/BelledonneCommunications/linphone-desktop/issues , it's 
best practice to browse for possible duplicate issues first, reporting 
will probably require an account at github, and a bug report is the most 
valuable when it contains tested and as exact as possible "steps to 
reproduce" the problem, e.g. if I understood you right, something along 
the lines of

   1) on a fresh user account, run v5.2.6 appimage
   2) add a linphone sip account
( 3) do something more )
   4) now run v6.0.0 appimage
( 5) do something more )
   6) restart appimage, voila, crash

and with 3) and 5) relating to contacts and needing to become specific if 
they apply (again, if I understood you well)
