Description Praedor Tempus 2009-05-13 20:32:48 UTC
Version:           1.11.2 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Mandriva Linux release 2009.1 (Cooker) for i586)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.29.1-desktop-4mnb

I always run kontact.  I have kde set to restart any apps I have running when I shutdown.  When I restart/relogin, kmail keeps producing an error message warning that another instance of kmail appears to be running and to not start kmail unless I am certain another instance is not running.  It is NOT running, it is a fresh login or startup - it SHOULD simply be restarting.  If I elect not to start kmail, then no kmail starts at all.  If I go ahead and start kmail, I then get two instances of kmail at the same time.  Shutting down one brings down both.  I have since found that no matter what I do, upon login/restart, a lock file remains in the ~/.kde4/share/apps/kmail directory regardless of whether or not I shutdown or logged out properly.

Very related to bugs 188067, 187023, 189512.

Yes, I can confirm the problem. This bug is really annoying at startup, I have to close kontact and restart it very often.

I forgot to say I'm using

Qt: 4.5.3
