I hope it's not too late for it to be included in Fedora 11:
Many new KDE 4.2 users at first don't get it that the progress bar for longer jobs (such as downloads) hides after a while. This can result in data loss when copying data between devices.
I suggest a simple fix:
Disable that Plasma takes over to show them and display the "old school" windows again.

Just add the following two lines to plasma-appletsrc:

[AppletGlobals][plasma_applet_systemtray]
ShowJobs=false

In KDE 4.3 the behaviour will probably be modified so this particular
bug is only for Fedora 11.

The simple fix as provided is a per-user solution, not sure how to make
that a global default yet.

We probably should strongly consider this for F-9/F-10 too...

Won't it work if we just stick this in kde-settings's plasma-appletsrc?

I think we should also consider ShowNotifications=false, as the systray
notifications interact badly with KPackageKit.

fwiw, my initial testing was that ShowNotifications=false didn't affect
Kpackagekit notifications, but maybe I just did something wrong.

Anyone else try testing this?

ShowNotifications=false works for me. Maybe you didn't restart all that
needs restarting for the setting to take effect?

1 person says no, the other yes.  Can we get a consensus?  Does the
ShowNotifications=false solve the issue and if so how soon can it be
implemented?

Whatever you do, you should implement it before Fedora 11 is final.
Has ShowJobs=false already been implemented? I don't run the beta of 11.

OK, looks like we've got persistent notifications working as of the latest kdebase-runtime builds:
%changelog
* Thu Apr 16 2009 Rex Dieter <rdieter at fedoraproject.org> - 4.2.2-4
- fix persistent systray notifications (#485796)


which mitigates the issues raised, here.  

For those that still want to diable the new stuff, you're welcome to use
the aforementioned hack.
