I gave that a
go. gdb reported that kmail exited
normally. With some trial
and error testing, I copied /usr/bin/kmail and
/usr/lib/libkmailprivate.so
from my Slackware 12.2 package and then the
problem
disappeared. At this
point I can only guess that something in the
kmail
composer code does not
compile correctly and instead causes the entire
app to
close rather than
just the composer window.

You may need to try something like this:
gdb --arg kmail --nofork
kmail is just a kdeinit executable that will normally exit
as soon as the
GUI is loaded unless forced not to.
Tim, thanks for the help!
With your suggestion I received something meaningful:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0xb6491dc3 in DCOPObject::~DCOPObject() () from /usr/lib/libDCOP.so.4
libDCOP.so.4 is a sym link to libDCOP.so.4.2.0, which is installed by the kdelibs
package.
What do I try next?
