           Summary: Kontact crashes if started while already running
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: kontact
        AssignedTo: debzilla at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: dj at david-web.co.uk
         QAContact: kubuntu-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


If 'kontact' is executed while Kontact is already running, around 25% of the
time the existing Kontact instance will simply be maximised and brought to the
front. However, the other 75% of the time the running instance of Kontact
crashes (a new instance doesn't actually start, it just gives an error on the
commnad line).

When this happens, the already running instance of Kontact gives the following
command line output:
FAILURE (KCmdLineArgs):
Application requests for isSet("module") but the "module" option
has never been specified via addCmdLineOptions( ... )

And the command line output from the second instance is:
ERROR: Communication problem with kontact, it probably crashed.

For some reason, this crash isn't caught by the KDE Crash Handler, so I don't
have a backtrace (but can get one, if someone would kindly tell me how to do it
manually).

I'm running Breezy on AMD64 (the bug was also present in Hoary).
