Kontact error on login

Hi all,

When I log out of my account, I don't shut down kontact for obvious reasons. But instead of nicely starting up the next time I log in, most of the time kontacts shows the following error window:

Source code

 
1

Kontact already seems to be running on another display on this machine. Running Kontact more 
than once can cause the loss of mail. You should not start Kontact unless you are sure that it is not 
already running.


Then I need to press exit, wait a minute, and restart kontact. I do use two screen, one TFT and a TV, though they're configured as one Xinerama display, maybe that's part of the problem. Not that I see another kontact instance on the TV display. It happens almost every time, but not always, and I can't figure out what's different. I've had the same error occur a few times on my system at work as well (fedora core 6 with only one screen) though it's rare there. Any guesses what's causing this?

P.S. I'm running kde 3.5.7 on kubuntu 7.10
I.
