This can be observed when I open the box and instantly start typing in the title field.  At about 5 seconds in, the input stops, but I continue to type.  After about 30 seconds, the buffered letters I typed while it paused then appear.  All other Kontact applications freeze while this is happening as well...kmail, kaddressbook, etc.

I don't know if there is something wrong with the settings in Kontact, or is there something funky about my Kolab settings on the server.  I do know that some time in the past this never happened, but I wasn't observant enough to be able to say when the behavior changed.

I use the Groupware setup wizard to make the inital Kontact configuration for Kolab, then later customize where the various folders are for the give account (drafts, sent, trash).

Apparently this was my mistake.  After cleaning out the different calendar folders (personal and shared), the problem went away.  The only thing that was odd was that two regular emails ended up in a calendar folder, so maybe kontact was having trouble with that.

Sorry to bother everyone about a red herring.
