A temporarily solution is to open /home/your_username/.kde/share/config/kontactrc
and adding the following section, if not already there, and disabling basket with the second line [Plugins] kontact_akregatorEnabled=true kontact_basketpluginEnabled=false This prevents kontact to load basket at startup. However, baskets could then not open from within kontact but you can use basket as standalone application. A little bit annoying but works for now.
