Akregrator starts automatically in Feisty

I can confirm this as i didnt have kdepim installed and Akgregator doesnt run until you start it. I than installed kdepim for this bug and Akgregator runs without starting it. They only way i have found to get by this is to remove kdepim.

I just tested and I can't confirm...
Installed kdepim, created a new user, and logon with it, no akregator.
I also checked at the /usr/share/autostart files eventually installed by kdepim or its deps, nothing related to akregator...

I did some additional testing and it doesn't happen every time.

So far, if I start KDE and then start Kontact, I don't get akregator, but if I leave Kontact open and restart the computer so that Kontact starts automatically on login to KDE, then akregator starts.

Still occurs with the test version of kdepim_3.5.6-0ubuntu7.

This only occurs for me if I have KDE save the state when I log off and Akregator is running. If I don't have Akregator running then it doesn't start up automatically. There is another trick by the way that I just noticed in the latest KDEPIM packages that I hadn't really paid attention to before. This is in Hardy with KDE 3.5.9 by the way.

In Akregator settings, you can set the 2 following options to prevent the behavior you want, they are:

Uncheck 'Show tray icon'
Uncheck 'Fetch all feeds on startup'

This totally prevents what you are referring to from happening. You can keep the tray icon, that is nothing, but unchecking 'Fetch all feeds on startup' prevent Akregator from doing anything, therefor not acting the way you have noticed in the past.

If you feel this is still an issue with 3.5.9, I urge you to go ahead and reopen this report. If I have made a mistake in this assumption I apologize ahead of time. Thank you!

Nope. Same behaviour for me with 3.5.9. Start Kontact (no Akregator). Reboot. Kontact starts and Akregator is running. That's not right.

OK, if I have the icon showing set in my configs, then yes, I can confirm the icon shows up after logging back in. However, setting it to not check doesn't fire akregator for me, it will not check until I click on one of the buttons. I even ran ps and top to see if it started up and it didn't, not until I clicked the download button did I briefly see akregator fire in both top and with a quick ps. Need to locate an upstream report and hope this gets fixed for KDE 4.1 as they stopped all work on the KDE 3 branch of Akregator unless of course it is a CRASH bug.

Is this still a problem in Kubuntu 8.10?

I am marking this fixed because it is no longer happening for me in Jaunty or Intrepid with KDE 4.2.
