I have just upgraded from kde-meta-4.3.2 to kde-meta-4.3.3. I have noticed several regressions, and I have filed a bug for each. -------- This is a little hard to reproduce. In some cases, when a KMail window needs to open, a Kontact windows opens instead. This sometimes happens when I click "New" to compose a new message. Most deterministically (every time) it happens on KDE startup, when the KWallet password prompt appears, a Kontact window is open as well. I'd rather use KMail as a standalone program, and not Kontact. -------- emerge --info: Portage 2.1.7.3 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.4.2, glibc-2.10.1-r0, 2.6.31-gentoo-r5 x86_64)

This isn't anything we can fix in ebuild(s) but something that upstream needs to sort out. Please open a clone of this bug at http://bugs.kde.org/
Reopening for tracking purpose.
Please open an upstream bug (as Samuli mentioned) and paste the url here, so we can track it and backport the patch if any. Thanks
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214262
Oops, I posted the URL in the wrong place. Should be correct now. :)
Do you still see this in current stable kde 4.3.5 or in 4.4.2?
The issue is still present in the latest 4.4 release. Kontact appears: - When KDE starts up and KWallet appears. - When I start typing in the To: field in a message composition window (but only once per KMail session). - When Kopete starts. The exact behavior has changed between 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4, but the basic problem remains. My intuition is that KWallet is somehow causing it. I haven't seen anyone else complaining, so over the weekend I'll try nuking my entire KDE configuration amd I'll see if Kubuntu has the problem too.
Any news here?
No reply here, no news on upstream bug. Assuming this is fixed. If not please reopen.
Sorry for not replying earlier. I am waiting for the new Akonadi-based KDEPIM (4.5) to be available and in Portage, so that I can retest. The problem definitely has something to do with Akonadi, so I guess a large part of the affected code has been rewritten in 4.5. When that's out and I test with a clean install, I'll open a new bug if there's still a problem. Thanks.
