Replying to my own message.

Thank you  Sonny and Cybe for the clues I needed to find the source of 
the problem.  It appears to have been fixed.  This is what I did.  First 
I tried the suggestions I found on Google.  No change.

Then I went in to /usr/bin and renamed all of the executable files 
containing "nepo*".
They are after renaming:
save-akonadi_nepomuk_calendar_feeder
save-akonadi_nepomuk_contact_feeder
save-akonadi_nepomuktag_resource
save-nepomuk-rcgen
save-nepomukserver
save-nepomukservicestub

This seems to have solved the problem.  I am using UBUNTU 10.04 and gnome 2.

   walt
