[gentoo-user] How to suppress starting kmail with KDE 4.3.2

I recently upgraded to KDE 4.3.x, now at 4.3.2.  With KDE 3.5.10 I could have 
kontact running on logout and it would be restarted the next time I logged in.  
With KDE 4.3.x, kontact is started, but so is kmail in a separate window.  I 
changed my default mail application to "kontact", but I cannot find where 
kmail is mentioned to start on login, so I can remove it.

you have probably saved a session with kmail running. IMHO worth a try saving 
a session without kmail running.

I presume "saving a session" is done by logging out.  I have already done 
that, leaving KDE without any mail client running.  On logging in again, kmail 
is started.  

The KDE session manager doesn't appear to have any option to save 
a session, but it does have a way to exclude applications from saved sessions.  
I'll try excluding kmail and then logging out.....

No change--KDE starts kmail even when logging out with neither kmail or 
kontact running.

Hmmm.  KDE 4.3.2 menu shows tabs for: Favorites, Applications, Computer, 
Recently Used, Leave.  No logout tab.  
The Leave tab shows: Logout, Lock, Switch User, Suspend to disk, Restart, 
Shutdown.  No "Save Session" option

I use this feature.  You have to go to KDE session manager and turn it
on before it appears in the menu.
