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 KDE: 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4) KMail: 1.12.4
