Version: 1.9.1 (using KDE 3.5.1 Level "a" , SUSE 10.1) Compiler: Target: i586-suse-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.16.27-0.9-default on shutdown of kmail, it complains the 'resource std.vcf is locked by program ""'. very tricky to reproduce: start kontact; 1)create "new mail", leave composer window open (at this moment, when closing Kontact, both windows would be correctly closed); 2)send a mail via komqueror "send URL as mail" (probably the crux this invokes kmail); 3)after mail is sent, close Kontact (now the composer window stays alive and kmail shows icon in systray, see difference to 1) ); 4) via icon context close kmail -> resource locked, can not write, etc (4 requesters)
all my contacts vanished 3 times this year. 2 times could recover them from a std.vcf_<n> file. Guess this is related to this resource-lock error in combination with reboot
have two stale locks size 0 0 5. Jun 21.59 _home_jr_.kde_share_apps_kabc_std.vcf.lock 0 5. Jun 21.59 _home_jr_.kde_share_apps_kabc_std.vcfnPZa7Aly (plus a few older ones) probably the above mentioned tricky procedure is nonsense: simple "new contact" fails too - same error-msg. So modify the bug report to "there are stale locks. Why - and how to know & get rid of them as a normal user?" (should i "RESOLVE" ?)
I think you describe the same issue as in bug 137515. KMail's composer uses the addressbook, so it is affected by the lock problem as well I guess. If you think this is the same as in bug 137515 as well, please close this bug report and add your comments to that one.
