Hmmm,

i tested a bit and i believe my method will fix this problem, but i need 
a little help coding the bug fix. In fact i need two pieces of code

1. I need a way to detect wether thunderbird/mozilaa/netscape is 
running. This is needed because otherwise i'll have toi start it on my 
own (this works already fine on my system).
2. I need a bit of code to wait a short time (5 seconds or so). I found 
some documentation about QTimer for doing this, but QTimer has to be 
connected with a method that it will start after the time is over. I 
just need a sleep for 5 seconds. Is there a way to do this or do ihave 
to write my 1st QT/KDE method?

Any wise guy likes to help me?
Oliver
