It compiles just fine, and runs.  However, the import dialogs to read  
any of my existing files (vcard or ical) doesn't seem to have any way  
to see hidden (dot) files, so unless I rename or link .kde4 (or  
wherever I have those files) I can't import them.  Am I missing  
something in the dialog, or is it just something they never thought of?
