The Akonadi server does not start at login. I get errors saying the
mysql server log contains errors:

091011 14:29:30 [Note] Plugin 'FEDERATED' is disabled.
091011 14:29:30  InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 143201

Version: '5.1.37-1ubuntu5-log'  socket: '/home/bob/.local/share/akonadi/db_misc/mysql.socket'  port: 0  (Ubuntu)

Also the self-test says that the akonadi control process is not
registered at D-Bus. The Akonadi panel in System Settings reports that
the server is not running.

I have been through all the suggestions on userbase.kde.org/Akonadi but
none have made any difference. I am not using an encrypted home
directory.

If I start the server manually after login using 'akonadictl start',
this appears to work - although I do still get the mysql errors - but
the D-Bus errors no longer appear and the panel in System Settings shows
the server as running. I have tried deleting the resources and
recreating them, which seems to work once the server is running, but
this makes no difference to the problem at startup.
