Description m.wege 2009-10-08 16:31:39 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I do not know if this is a direct kmail bug, but it is affected. When I use the function "send link via mail" in Konqueror, Akregator or Firefox this does not work initially. Nothing happens. I need to do this a second times before it works.
Comment 1 Martin Koller 2009-10-08 21:27:25 UTC 
Works fine here. Does it work for you if kmail is already running ?
Comment 2 m.wege 2009-10-08 21:34:48 UTC 
No. Is there any way to "debug" this, meaning a kind of log?
Comment 3 Martin Koller 2009-10-08 21:55:52 UTC 
You can use kdebugdialog to turn on debug flags.
If I do it here (openSuse 11.1), I see e.g.
kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/kmail
kmail(11219) KMailApplication::newInstance:                                                                                  
kmail(11219) KMKernel::openComposer:                                                                                         

and I get the composer window.

I found Kdebugdialog on Kubuntu too, but even though I turned on everything there was no output in the file relating to KMail. I might have done something wrong. Can you explan exactly how to use it?
Comment 5 Martin Koller 2009-10-10 00:11:12 UTC 
I think it only works with a debug build of KDE or probably also if you have installed the -debug packages (I'm not sure though).
I'm not sure if the output helps a lot.
You could also ask for further help on debugging via IRC on #kontact or via the KDE mailing lists, e.g. kdepim-users@kde.org
Comment 6 m.wege 2009-10-10 00:18:08 UTC 
I have installed debug packages. That does not do the trick. I will try to contact people for further debugging, but may be it will take some time. Compling KDE from trunk is on my list, but since I failed a few times following the instructions, it seems like a bigger project.
Comment 7 m.wege 2010-01-22 18:11:25 UTC 
seems to be ok in KDE 4.4 RC1 now.
