Bug#632255: kmail: Kmail does not start properly or "close/minimise" to the system tray
Package: kmail
Version: 4:4.4.11.1+l10n-1
Severity: important
When you start KMail it starts to run automatically on login from a saved session,
you can see it in ps aux but nothing appears on the screen. You have to kill it
and manually start it again, before it appears.
If you close the application it vanishes - it doesn't close to the system tray
like it use to, but it is still running, which you can veryify with ps.
Starting the application from a menu, button or command line brings it back
to a visible foreground application.
Trying the differnent "System Tray" integration options doesn't seem to make
any difference.
If you don't know what is going on you'd say it makes the application unsuable
(i.e. IMPORTANT) if you know what is going on it's highly annoying but KMail
is still usable (i.e. NORMAL).
Running Kontact doesn't seem to make it anymore reliable, it's still wobbly.
This all works fine in the Squeeze version. I'm guessing this behaviour is
a manifestation of the same source problem, but feel to split/reassign if
that is more appropiate.
