The problem seems to be that Kontact  doesn't shut down properly when 
KOrganizer is set to month view. I had the problem for a long time and never 
thought that it could have anything to do with month vs. other views, but I've 
just tested it and it closes down properly when set to e.g. week view.

I always had to do "ps ax|grep kontact" before starting it...

BTW: Kubuntu Karmic 9.10, KDE and Kontact 4.3.3.
Is this bug filed in Bugzilla?
