"Task Manager"?  I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with that term, except in a 
MS Windows environment.  I am using Gnome as my DE with my preferred KDE 
applications within that environment.  I never experienced any problems 
with KMail nor Korganizer until relatively recently, and I have not 
changed my user behaviour over the last six or so months with respect to 
these applications.  On the basis of this, I can but conclude that the 
apps are not "behaving" according to my user expectations.

If I need to change my user behaviour to accommodate some changes within 
the apps themselves, then so be it, but I woyuld need to know what it is 
that I am supposed to be doing differently ... and at this point this 
isn't clear to me.

Cheers
