Okay, in the following circumstances:

1) Enable IMAP resources for the calendar
2) Start the KOrganiser reminder daemon at login - i.e. before Kontact is started (this is default behaviour).

The effect is that the KOrganiser daemon loads a KMail instance to pull in its calendar data. Then when Kontact starts, it seems to detect an already running KMail, so just opens that instead (in a separate window). KMail then can't be embedded into Kontact unless all the KMail processes are first killed.

If you right click on the KOrganiser daemon in the system tray and uncheck "start at login" then this problem goes away. The reminder daemon then starts and stops with Kontact.

Of course, you then need to have Kontact running to get reminders, but if you (like me) keep it minimised in the system tray the whole time anyway, then this isn't an issue.

HTH.
