Not yet, When I do my next svn update, I'll re-enable my "is in addressbook" 
filter and see if I still get duplicate mails.

Normally, a KDE application is quit when the reference count of KGlobal 
reaches 0. Main windows, system tray icons and KJobs hold references to 
KGlobal when they exist (they call KGlobal::ref() and KGlobal::deref()).

So what probably is happening is that there is a dangling reference somewhere, 
most likely a KJob that wasn't deleted. You can probably catch this by placing 
breakpoints in ref() and deref() and see when a deref() is missed.

I remember that Akregator had (has?) a bug like this, there was a dangling 
reference after viewing the full article under some circumstances.

That is because I added an ugly hack to Kontact, which I've just removed again 
in r921392.

Is that a command line application? If so, it probably doesn't use the 
reference count system to detect when it should quit, and therefore a dangling 
reference wouldn't trigger this bug.
