Carl - there's a separate locking system built into the kabc library that creates the above lock files. It is supposed to clean them up again when the application that requested a save ticket for the addressbook finished saving, but sometimes they don't give back the ticket or crash whilst writing, hence the stale locks hanging around, and we haven't got a lock cleaner.
Thanks for this post, Will. You've supplied a very nicely written. succinct procedure and explanation. This one's a "keeper" :-)
regards,
Carl
I deleted the offending file before I got any of your replies. I will certainly save Will's outline of the process to correct the problem for future reference. Many thanks for your comments... Tom.
