           Summary: Calling the mail composer external doesn't work when
                    running KMail in Kontact
           Product: kmail2
           Version: Git (master)
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mail at eliasprobst.eu


Version:           Git (master) (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

When running KMail embedded into Kontact, composing a mail by clicking a mailto
link in a browser or running 'kmail --composer' doesn't work.

Instead the warning, KMail would be already running is shown.

The output on the terminal where 'kmail --composer' is run from looks like
this:
elias at e6510 ~ % kmail --composer
kmail2(18289) KMail::lockOrDie: oldPid= 18278
kmail2(18289) KMail::lockOrDie: "/usr/bin/kontact"
kmail2(18289) KMail::lockOrDie: Found process 18278 running. It's: "kontact"
kmail2(18289) KMailApplication::newInstance:
kmail2(18289) KMailApplication::newInstance: Delaying instance creation.

This doesn't happen when running kmail standalone.

Reproducible: Always
