+Subject: [PATCH] Show address fields when adding the first contact
+
+The new contact dialog iterates over the list of address fields, which
+are declared as static in the Contact class. Static data in Vala is
+implemented by initializing the data during class_init(), or in other
+words, the first time that the class is instantiated. When adding the
+first contact, there are no instances of Contact, and so the address
+fields have not been initialized. This leads to a blank space in the new
+contact dialog, where the list of address fields should be.
+
+Ensure that class_init() of the Contact class has been called by
+calling g_type_class_ref() on the Type before iterating over the address
+fields.
