           Summary: session management problems (kontact often thinks it is
                    already running)
           Product: kontact
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: anders alweb dk


Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.5.6, Kubuntu (feisty) 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu8)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.20-9-generic

There seems to be some reports about like this, marked as resolved:

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102671
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102104

and maybe more.

Using KDE 3.5.6, I sometimes gets 2 dialogs claiming that kontact thinks it is already running.

I don't start KMail individually, nor do i desire to do so.

When there are two dialogs, accepting the first with 'start anyway' will make kontact start, but then it will crash when I dismiss the 2nd dialog.

The behavior is occational. I have no idea what is different when it does or doesn't happen.
