Master volume temporarily lowered while playing system notifications

Hi,

The other night, a 'yum update' updated my FC11 system to KDE 4.3.5. 
I've noticed a rather annoying little change:  while a KDE system 
notification is being played, the master volume is temporarily lowered. 
(If KMix is open I can see the Master Volume slider move down and back up 
as the sound plays.)  This means that if I have the volume adjusted to a 
comfortable level for music listening that I can barely hear the sound 
that alerts me to new mail.

Although I suppose some folks might like to have new mail alerts, etc., 
played a bit quieter while they're playing music, I'm of the opinion that 
I'd like alerts to be audible over the music so I can hear and act on the 
alert.  Before the upgrade to 4.3.5 I used to be able to hear the 
notification sounds quite well.  Is this a bug or feature?  If the latter, 
is there any way for me to switch things back to the old behavior?

Thanks,
Dave
