Comment 1 gjditchfield 2021-10-21 16:52:17 UTC 
I have the opposite problem: the checkbox in front of "always start with plugin" is obeyed, but when it is checked, Kontact always starts with the Summary regardless of the plugin I select.

My configuration seems to be stored in .config/kontactrc, in ActivePlugin and ForceStartupPlugin properties.
