Knotes dead on Gentoo & Debian

I am currently using Gentoo and Debian, with the same results on both PC's.

I use kontact, kpilot, and I have synced both systems with my egroupware server ( but I no longer do this because I could not figure out how to do it in the same method as the disconnected IMAP )

I upgraded to KDE 3.4, all is well other than knotes it seems.

When I try to launch knotes manually i get:

knotes: WARNING: Cannot execute call to system.login: empty server URL

If I try to launch from within kontact, it just hangs and I have to kill the process.
I just finished a complete system update to make sure it was not something simple.

On my gentoo system I did:
emerge --update --deep --newuse world
revdep-rebuild -v

Running kernel linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r3

I tried removing all the knotes config files. No difference. ( maybe I am missing deleting one )

I tried running it as root:
and I get "knotes: ERROR: Communication problem with knotes, it probably crashed."

Any ideas what I should try? So far, everything else on this system works after the upgrade.

Knotes is indeed extremely squirrley. I am running SimplyMEPIS 3.3 with KDE and KDE PIM upgraded to KDE 3.4 versions. Notes runs both under Kontact and on the desktop. However, opening notes on the desktop causes all notes created from the Kontact interface to disappear and vice versa. Also it appears to be impossible to sync notes with my palm. What gives? This has been bad for a long time. Thoughts on workarounds or fixes appreciated.
