Bug 119023

No crash here (Kontact 1.2, KDE 3.5 r487700).

Can you paste the backtrace?

Thanks for your suggestion as it allows me to find the culprit !

Mandriva is using a shell script to launch kontact or its components. This allow to use the same menu entry and thus even if kontact is installed or not. if kontact is installed, kontact is opened with the right component/module selected, If not the standalone application is launched.

It's seems that when using this script, "open email in adressbook" will make kontact quit with the following backtrace :

This is what happen after "kontact: [void KMMainWidget::slotMsgPopup(KMMessage&, const KURL&, const QPoint&)]  URL is: mailto:bgmilne AT mandriva.org <bugzilla AT qa.mandrivalinux.com>" which appear when the contextual menu is displayed after my right-click.

Please note also the following lines in the backtrace :

kontact: Option <-module> inconnue.
