Description Martin Fabian Hohenberg 2004-02-23 23:02:59 UTC 
Version:           Unbekannt (using KDE 3.2.0, SuSE)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-166-default

There should be a possibility to set a "standard" module to be started ... rather than opening the module last active in the last session.

For example, it qould be nice if I could specify somewhere that kontact should always start with the KMail part or the summary.

HEAD has a --module <module> command line parameter. But I guess you want a GUI option?
Comment 2 Martin Fabian Hohenberg 2004-02-25 08:23:28 UTC 
A GUI option really would be nice. However, it also would be sufficient (for the moment ;) if you simply tell me how to make use of that --module parameter. kontact --module XXX seems to do nothing ("Unknown option")

The --module option will be new in Kontact 1.0 (KDE 3.3). That's why it doesn't work for you.
With 'kontact --list' you'll get a list of all modules.

A GUI configuration option is definatly needed. :-)

CVS commit by danimo: 

another one off the feature plan: allow to select a default startup part in the gui.

This now works like the following:

If module spefied via parameter => load it 
else If default part specified => load it
else load recently used part

nice side effect: beineri now owes me a beer, cookies are also accepted :)
