[Opensync-users] kdepim - kontact starting unwantedly

[nexus_6 <mar...@gm...>]

Hello,

I have always had success syncing my SE K750i with KDE PIM (KDE 3.5.10 atm)
on my gentoo setup, but haven't used opensync in a while. When I tried
yesterday, the following problem came up: I manually start the sync (either
through KitchenSync or msynctool), having exited Kontact and KAddressbook of
course, the two apps immediately start themselve and of course syncing
fails. See log:

$ msynctool --sync k750i
Synchronizing group "K750i"
Member 2 of type kdepim-sync had an error while connecting: Kontact is
running. Please finish it
Member 1 of type irmc-sync had an error while connecting: Request failed
All clients have disconnected
The sync failed: Unable to connect one of the members
Error while synchronizing: Unable to connect one of the members

I have never seen behaviour like this in KDE before, and don't know where to
start looking. Can anyone help me out? No matter what i do, Kontact always
automatically starts at beginning of sync. I am currently using Opensync
0.22, but have tried and failed with 0.36 as well (same symptoms).

Not sure, but this might be related to a bug in KDE. I have a problem
when logging in,
kmail always starts automatically (even though it is not part of my session).
I read that it may be related to kaddressbook calling some stuff that
starts kmail.

See this (old) bug, and my latest comment:
