[Bug 542059] Re: KNotify opens an incorrect dialog in a GNOME environment

[Sjors Gielen]

Reporting this bug back to kdebase-runtime. I had a chat with Sebastien Bacher. We both agree that notify-osd behaviour isn't what it should be, but this is by design, since notify-osd doesn't support actions. KNotify *does* support actions, and as such, it should either:
* tell applications not to send actions if it uses notify-osd (see below)
* remove the actions itself
* not use notify-osd as a backend.

I opt for option three, therefore I will rename this bug to "KNotify
should not use notify-osd as a notification backend, because it does not
support actions."

For reference; Sebastien and I agree that this bug should actually be
fixed deeply in knotify, because it has no API to tell applications what
its notification backend supports. By default, it supports everything
including actions, therefore it should not use notify-osd as a backend.
