Details ? 
What kind of warnings ? Compile-time or runtime warnings ?

Yes. 
At one point I started Calendar support, but I never finished something really.
An implementation of my new idea instead was, that a phone is a "normal" thing,
which means, that you just click on Konqueror->Devices, select the 
connected phone and then just drag&drop things around, either to/from the
Phone/KAddressbook, to a directory to store a contact as .cvf file, or to the 
KOrganizer
to import/export single events. The code is in kdepim/kmobile/, but it's not
compiled yet by default.

It seems Jean-Christophe Fargette <address@hidden> packaged this package.
All which needs to do be done is to install the devel-packages for gnokii 
before 
compilation of kdepim, but since <fargette.com> doesn't seems to resolve right 
now
I can't tell him. Maybe some other slackware users are here on this list and 
could
tell him ?
