           Summary: kontact doesn't start akregator on startup
           Product: kontact
           Version: 4.4.5
          Platform: Debian unstable
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: paul at astro.gla.ac.uk


Version:           4.4.5 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

kontact is a shell surrounding several KDE components, such as KMail and
akregator.

When the akregator icon in kontact (left-hand edge; entitled "Feeds") is
selected, then kontact will start akregator and (if configured) initiate an
initially fetch of the feeds.  An icon appears in the system tray and, if the
"Notify when new articles arrive" option is selected in some feeds, then one or
more messages may appear describing new items.

I have kontact configured to show KMail on startup; however, I wish to be
alerted if I've selected different feeds with the "Notify when[..]" option.

Could kontact be adjusted to start akregator (in the background) on startup?



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start kontact.
2. Switch kontact to "Feeds" view.
3. Switch back to kmail view.

Actual Results:  
After step 1., there is no akregator icon in system tray.

Step 2. triggers kontact to initialise akregator.

Step 3. allows reading of email, etc.

After update of feeds, (and if configured) there is possibly messages from some
feeds.

Expected Results:  
Kontact starts and akregator also starts at the same time, without switching to
akregator view.

I can't decide the severity: it's either Normal (i.e., a simple bug in kontact
that should be fixed) or an enhancement, depending on one's point-of-view.
