           Summary: kmail lock file remains after shutdown and causes
                    problems for restart
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.11.2
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: praedor at yahoo.com


Version:           1.11.2 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Mandriva Linux release
2009.1 (Cooker) for i586)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.29.1-desktop-4mnb

I always run kontact.  I have kde set to restart any apps I have running when I
shutdown.  When I restart/relogin, kmail keeps producing an error message
warning that another instance of kmail appears to be running and to not start
kmail unless I am certain another instance is not running.  It is NOT running,
it is a fresh login or startup - it SHOULD simply be restarting.  If I elect
not to start kmail, then no kmail starts at all.  If I go ahead and start
kmail, I then get two instances of kmail at the same time.  Shutting down one
brings down both.  I have since found that no matter what I do, upon
login/restart, a lock file remains in the ~/.kde4/share/apps/kmail directory
regardless of whether or not I shutdown or logged out properly.
