Given that kmail (in kde-3.5) or kontact (in proko2) is auto-started when
korganizer, kaddressbook, korgac, or knotes is started, (to provide the
calendar/contact/notes data), there needs to be a way for the user to
select whether kmail or kontact should be autostarted.

I have now implemented a shell-script which lets you choose between kmail
and kontact as the "imap resource backend". Simply run the attached script,
first without arguments to check your current setup, and then with either
kmail or kontact as argument.
