Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdepim-runtime
As it stands, the default KDE addressbook resource is a traditional .vcf file. This means that even on a clean install the KRes migrator will pop up on the first startup to convert this to an akonadi resource. This behavior presents an unnecessary dialog to the default install, cluttering the desktop. It also starts the entire akonadi stack for the purpose of running the migrator, wasting ~25-30 MB of RAM to convert this empty standard addressbook to an empty akonadi addressbook. It's a real detriment to the booting experience for KDE, and would be an excellent way to reduce the initial RAM usage of the default desktop.

On fresh KDE installations and/or new users, the KRes migrator pops up, converting the default resource to an Akonadi.
Shouldn't the default address book resource be an Akonadi resource by default? As it stands, the migrator popping up on clean installs clutters the initial desktop with an unnecessary popup, and wastes ~25 MB of RAM by starting up the entire akonadi stack. As it stands, this is a wart on the startup experience for KDE. (I hope I don't sound like I'm whining, though. Thanks for doing the work that you guys do.)
