Description Paul L. 2014-05-04 18:41:00 UTC 
If Kontact/KMail is running, launching KNotes incorrectly takes you to Kontact/KMail application but does not present a KNote. If Kontact/KMail is not running, KNotes launches correctly and presents a KNote for editing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Kontact/Kmail
2. Launch KNotes
3. KNotes fails to load
Actual Results:  
KNotes takes me to my running instance of Kontact/KMail and opens no notes.

Expected Results:  
KNotes should launch and present a KNote on the desktop for editing.

KNotes does work properly if Kontact/KMail isn't running. When Kontact/KMail is running, KNotes fails to launch. Interestingly, if I launch KNotes without Kontact/KMail running, in which case KNotes loads and operates properly, to include placement of the running KNotes icon in the System Tray, and I then launch Kontact/KMail, the Popup Notes in Kontact/KMail is unfunctional. If I then quit KNotes, Kontact/KMail Popup Notes performs normally.

Kubuntu: 14.04 64-bit
KDE: 4.13.0
KNotes: 4:4.13.0-0ubuntu1
Kontact: 4:4.13.0-0ubuntu1
KMail: 4:4.13.0-0ubuntu1
Kernel: 3.13.0-24-generic
CPU: Intel i3 M380

If I create a KNote with Kontact/KMail not running, save/close KNotes and then launch Kontact/KMail and click on Popup Notes, the note created with KNotes is shown and editable.
Comment 2 Paul L. 2014-05-04 18:48:33 UTC 
If KNotes is not running and I create a Popup Notes in Kontact/KMail and then quite Kontact/Kmail, launching KNotes sees/presents the Popup Note created in Kontact/KMail.

if you have kontact launch and knotes as kontact plugins activated knotes "desktop" will not launch.
It's normal.
It's invalid as bug.
