Did you restart your computer since installing those packages? For me the trouble only started after that. I have a hunch that my problem is related to DBus in some way. As far as I can tell, only Kontact and KMail were affected. Notably, for these two applications only single instances are started and I think this is handled through DBus. My rather shaky hypothesis is that in my case the applications were blocking on a call to DBus while trying to find out if there was already a running instance.
