This program named 'phonekit' may be what needs looking at.   I have not yet
found the source code for it after a little looking.

Try this hack:

Go to /home/root/.evolution/addressbook/local/system and remove the file
named addressbook.db.summary

Then do  ps -aef | grep phonekit and kill the phonekit process.
Then restart the phonekit by doing:   dbus-launch phone-kit &

Then restart X by doing:   /etc/init.d/xserver-nodm restart

Check your contacts now.

Jim
