I ran it with X forwarding, i.e. the windows opened on my laptop. I 
think I would have gotten them imported (vCard version 2.1, not 3 for 
some reason), but I found no way of confirmin the "Would you like to 
import" dialog. I didn't find a way to tell addressbook to autoimport, 
the documentation is a bit skimpy..
