Bug Description

Whenever akonadi starts or stops a progress dialog is shown. The only use of this dialog is to indicate that something is happening (so not really progress anyway).
Apparently this dialog is however scary and confusing to the average user and was already removed from KDE trunk, hence it should also be removed in our packages of KDE 4.4... for which a UI freeze exception would be very good to get :)

The patch in particular:

   kDebug() << "Starting Akonadi (using an event loop).";
   mEventLoop = new QEventLoop( mParent );

This bug was fixed in the package kdepimlibs - 4:4.4.2-0ubuntu2

---------------
kdepimlibs (4:4.4.2-0ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=low

  * Add kubuntu_01_increase_fail_timeout.patch to bump the timeout before
    starting error detection from 10 seconds to 60, that should be enough time
    for akonadi to start on somewhat decent hardware (I hope)
  * Add kubuntu_02_hide_akonadi_progressbar.patch to hide start/stop progressbar
    as done in KDE trunk and requested by ScottK LP: #562420
