           Summary: Kontact process still running after application is
                    closed
           Product: kontact
           Version: 4.4.3
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: lelamal at alice.it


Version:           4.4.3 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

Recently, I've taken to checking System Monitor more often, and have noticed
that, after a day use, the process named "kontact" is present in the list of
running programs although I've just closed it. Nothing changes if I wait a
couple of minutes, or until I shut down. If I right-click the process and
choose "Show Application Window" nothing happens. If I click on Kontact in the
main menu, cursor bounces for a while, there's some activity in the task bar, 
but ultimately it fails to start. So it's not like the app is really running,
although it behaves as if trying to open another instance of the same
application. I have to manually kill the process, if I want to restart Kontact.

This is reproducible everyday, after hours and hours of use. After a whole day,
it eats up to 150 MB of RAM, and may be problematic if the process just sits
there uselessly and unnoticed. However, I've tried to start the programme, use
it for shorter periods, then quit it, and the process exits properly.

Reproducible: Sometimes
