I'am using testing/woody with the following packages:
ii kmail 2.2.2-14 Mail Client based on Qt and KDE
ii xserver-xfree8 4.1.0-16 the XFree86 X server
ii libqt2 2.3.1-22 Qt GUI Library (runtime version).
KMail version is 1.3.2
It's running on top of a 2.4.18 kernel with wdm as a login manager.
icewm as window manager. I tried under WindowMaker, no changes.
This is what is in the .xsession-errors

I already used it on a K6/400 but never without the other kde components
I have no enough space on my hard drives ;) 384MB RAM but only 3GB HD...
I restarted the X server, cleaned up /tmp... no use.
Beside that i'm using a QT app: Opera, works normally, something at the KDE
layer must be missing or not responding.
What is doing KDE when not checking mail? Is the app polling something?
