Description Marcin Kasperski 2004-12-02 17:49:12 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.3)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

There is irritating mismatch between kmail and korganizer behaviour on window close:

- in kmail closing the window completely shuts down the application, including new mail monitor in panel doc

- kopete, korganizer, kget (and more) shuts their main window but leave the application running and dock indicator present

Since I started using kopete and korganizer, I frequently accidentally close the kmail when I only want to get off its window - but simultaneously want to keep the new mail monitor running.

So I would recommend KDE to establish some standard relating this behaviour and implement it consistently. Personally I would probably prefer kopete/korganizer/kget/... behaviour (window close leave app running, one need to File/Exit or icon/Exit to shut it down). There is really no user-level difference between closing kopete window (and keeping new messages monitor on) and closing kmail window (and keeping new mail monitor on).

Ops, I mis-clicked product, it should be kmail. Unfortunately I have no rights to change it.

  Not true....

   Tray applications minimize on close, non-tray applications close on close.  
File->Quit closes no matter what.  What is inconsistent here?

If I click [x] button in the kmail main window corner, kmail shuts down completely. Maybe KDE version matters (I use 3.2.3 which is available in debian sarge) - and it was changed later?

This is of course inconsistent with the tray-applications behaviour - kmail IS the tray application.
Comment 4 Allan Sandfeld 2004-12-02 18:20:47 UTC
Sounds like you have a buggy kmail. Kmail has since KDE 3.2, only minimized when closed as a window _if_ you have the tray icon activated.

This issue can not be reproduced in KDE4. Closing.
