           Summary: kontact faults on kmail mailto from browser or command
                    line
           Product: kontact
           Version: 4.6 beta4
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: mail
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: charles.figura at wartburg.edu


Version:           4.6 beta4 (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

When kontact is running, mailto commands (from firefox, konqueror, rekonq, and
command line) fail with this popup message:

"Kontact seems to be running on another display on this machine. Running
Kontact and KMail at the same time can cause the loss of mail. You should not
start KMail unless you are sure that Kontact is not running."

If kontact is NOT running at all, or if ONLY kmail is running (but not
kontact), behavior of the mailto works correctly.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Run kontact (with kmail2 plugin), try a mailto.  

Actual Results:  
Warning popup window appears every time.

Expected Results:  
A kmail composer window should appear.
