            Bug ID: 326965
           Summary: KAddressBook starts at login
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: 4.11.2
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org
          Reporter: thomas.sisson.1@gmail.com

Every time I start KDE, KAddressBook starts with a window with the message,
"The Akonadi personal information management service is not operational.

I purposely have disabled Akonadi and do not use any programs, modules, or
plasmoids that start Akonadi. I simply cannot run Akonadi without it eating \
up my CPU.

I do not use KAddressBook or Kontacts. I do not use KMail or any PIM \
programs. The clock I use is inadequate, but it was specifically written to \
not launch Akonadi or use any PIM services or programs.

No daemons or programs are started that should launch KAddressBook.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log into KDE
Actual Results:  
KAddressBook starts automatically.

Expected Results:  
KAddressBook should not start automatically.

I've deleted any reference, but
~/.kde/share/config/session/kaddressbook_10144cdddd9000138277097600000021600672_1383253184_908545
 was recreated.

My KDE Autostart points to ~/.config/autostart. The directory
/usr/share/autostart is a symlink that points to /etc/xdg/autostart.

There are duplicate entries in System Settings > Startup and Shutdown >
Autostart. Perhaps removing the offending duplicate might resolve the \
issue, but the expected behavior is the personal ~/.config/autostart \
entries are meant to override the system /etc/xdg/autostart entries. I \
should not be able to remove system desktop files as a normal user. It is \
also not necessarily desirable to remove such entries because that would \
affect other users.

The more I disable and remove KDE programs, the less I'm running KDE. The \
"just works" concept appears to have been replaced with "must include" or \
"should include" things that are unnecessary.

Some of this might be due to Kubuntu specific patches, but overall this is
coming from KDE.

If this is of my own making (a user created bug), I apologize. Though, I do
believe that it should be easier to configure all autostart options while
considering other desktops while still pointing the KDE Autostart file to \
the XDG specified user autostart directory. Perhaps someone might wish to \
work on a way to hide the system autostart entries when a corresponding \
personal autostart entry exists, or show personal and system entries on \
separate tabs in KDE System Settings. Of course, this is a feature request \
that may fix the bug I am reporting.
