Thanks, that's a good script. However, for me korgac doesn't start till I 
start Kontact. In this situation I would need to create a wrapper around 
Kontact that would kill korgac once Kontact was up and running.

I was hoping that there would be some way to configure Kontact from not 
starting korgac at all?

When I go to Quit korgac (right-click->Quit) I'm prompted for confirmation but 
not prompted if I want korgac to start up next time.
