[kde-linux] Cannot stop kmail from automatically starting on login

[Brett Randall]

Hi all

I recently upgraded to KDE 3.5.0 from KDE 3.3. I use Debian Sarge 3.1, and 
upgrading to the Debian Backports version of KDE.

Prior to KDE 3.5, I used Thunderbird as my e-mail client. I now use KMail as 
it appears to be a lot more stable than previous versions with my Exchange 
server over IMAP.

Problem is, KMail starts automatically upon login every time. KDM is my 
Display Manager if that matters.

I've checked literally everything I can. I've been using Linux for 10+ years 
so know my way around, but I cannot see for the life of me why KMail keeps 
starting.

Things I've checked:

* ~/.kde/Autostart is empty
* ~/.kde/share/config - doing a grep kmail and grep kontact on all rc files 
(including ksmserverrc) shows nothing. It did initially, but I've deleted all 
instances of kmail and kontact from all kde rc files
* ~/.kde/share/config/session contains no kmail or kontact files, and a grep 
reveals that these files don't contain anything about said applications.
* In Control Center...KDE Components...Session Manager...On Login, I have 
tried "Restore Previous Session", then closed all applications, and killed 
all kmail and kontact related processes, then logged off and back on. KMail 
starts. Trying "Restore manually saved session", killing all processes, 
manually saving session, logging off and back on again, KMail starts. "Start 
with an empty session", KMail still starts. I've even put "kmail:kontact" in 
Applications to be excluded from sessions and it still starts.
* I've turned off the kmail system tray icon in KMail settings in case somehow 
the system tray was starting kmail when it started, hasn't helped though.
* I have no .xinitrc or .xsession files of any kind that start kmail
* Grepping for kontact or kmail in /etc/kde3/* shows nothing.

Short of renaming ~/.kde3 and starting from scratch, I don't know where else 
to look for why kmail keeps starting on login. Anyone see any places I've 
missed looking?

Thanks in advance.
