I know knotify is compiled because there are related lib files. Also
knotify sometimes loads, but I haven't found why knotify does not load
consistently on all systems. I need to resolve that issue before I can
look into the size of the popups.
I don't see anything related in kcontrol other than sounds, which is
internal to TDE. My focus is creating notification popups externally
with notify-send. My guess is notify-send requires a dbus dependent
notification daemon. Because the kdbusnotifcation package is buggy I am
using the xfce4 notification daemon.
Don't remember what was notify-send, but I think it was gnome application
and yes it needs dbus and yes you need kdbusnotifcation and yes it was
outdated and this is why I added a pull request based on dbus-1-tqt, which
works much better. You can compile install and enjoy it.
The notify-send command is part of the libnotify package. I am
reasonably certain recent versions require dbus. Any notification daemon
can be used. Multiple daemons can be installed, but there is no
specification about which daemon gets called on request. I looked into
that oddity not long ago.
The xfce4 notification daemon is fine to interact with notify-send,
regardless of the desktop environment.
There are issues with the kdbusnotification package. Notably, in TDE
notifications ignore the notify-send 'expire-time' parameter. Related
notification durations seem fixed at about 6 seconds. We had a
discussion about this about a year and a half ago or so. I think I filed
a bug report but I don't remember. Yesterday I again tried using
kdbusnotification and saw the same shortfall. I have both of the TDE
dbus-tqt packages installed.
The only kcontrol items I see about feedback are related to launching
tools or the mouse cursor.
Did you see the screenshot - knotify is part of TCC (the kdbusnotifcation is
not integrated there)
Yes, I saw. I don't think those options are related to system system
notification popups.
I am tinkering with rebuilding the user TDE profile from scratch. A huge
time consuming inconvenience and I still cannot get the TDE knotify
process to launch consistently with each login. System notification
popups with notify-send seem to be functional though so perhaps that
oddity is a should shrug. That does not resolve the size of the system
notification popups. In that respect I'm still at square one.
I don't know what knotify is supposed to do. I haven't tried to browse
the code to see what the purpose of knotify might be. My original focus
hasn't changed though -- the size of the system notification popups are
too small.
