            Bug ID: 334345
           Summary: KNotes fails to run if Kontact/KMail is already
                    running
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: knotes
           Version: 4.13
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: grave
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

If Kontact/KMail is running, launching KNotes incorrectly takes you to
Kontact/KMail application but does not present a KNote. If Kontact/KMail is not
running, KNotes launches correctly and presents a KNote for editing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Kontact/Kmail
2. Launch KNotes
3. KNotes fails to load
Actual Results:  
KNotes takes me to my running instance of Kontact/KMail and opens no notes.

Expected Results:  
KNotes should launch and present a KNote on the desktop for editing.

KNotes does work properly if Kontact/KMail isn't running. When Kontact/KMail is
running, KNotes fails to launch. Interestingly, if I launch KNotes without
Kontact/KMail running, in which case KNotes loads and operates properly, to
include placement of the running KNotes icon in the System Tray, and I then
launch Kontact/KMail, the Popup Notes in Kontact/KMail is unfunctional. If I
then quit KNotes, Kontact/KMail Popup Notes performs normally.

Kubuntu: 14.04 64-bit
KDE: 4.13.0
KNotes: 4:4.13.0-0ubuntu1
Kontact: 4:4.13.0-0ubuntu1
KMail: 4:4.13.0-0ubuntu1
Kernel: 3.13.0-24-generic
CPU: Intel i3 M380
