            Bug ID: 358216
           Summary: kmail keeps running in the background after quitting
                    the program
           Product: kmail2
           Version: Git (master)
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: tittiatcoke at gmail.com

I have noticed that kmail actually keeps running in the background after you
try to close the program.  

Selecting "File -> Quit" makes the systray icon disappear, but the kmail
process is still active in the background. Even with "Alt-Tab" window switcher,
you can not find the kmail window anymore. One would expect that kmail is gone.
When you now start a new kmail session, you suddenly get a crash reported from
kmail indicating if you want to report a bug or to restart the program. The
newly started kmail functions normally. 

This also applies to kontact !!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start kmail or kontact.
2. Choose File -> Quit (kmail or kontact will close normally)
3.  Open a konsole and check with ps if kmail or kontact are still there

Actual Results:  
the kmail or kontact process is still active in the background, but can not be
reached. Starting now a new kmail or kontact will cause a crash report for the
old active process.

Expected Results:  
The kmail or kontact process is normally closed and disappeared. Starting a new
session afterwards should not generate a crash.
