[Bug 345051] [NEW] Kopete message notifications can't be disabled

[transmutated]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kopete-kde4

I'm using the developmental version Of Jaunty Kubuntu 9.04(KDE 4.2) and
Kopete version 0.70.0

What I expected to happen when I had Kopete open was I that the
notifications would become disabled them under:

Settings > Configure Notifications... and un-checked "Show a message in
a popup"

The messages continued to appear but now clicking view or ignore did
nothing. I rechecked "Show a message in a popup" and I could then click
view or ignore with one exception. The notifications I had received
while I had the box unchecked remained in the notification area.

To solve this problem, I simply right clicked on the system tray and
removed it. I then added it (system tray widget) back and the
notifications where gone.

To simply solve the problem of the notifications from Kopete from
showing up, I went to Computer > System Settings > Notifications and
selected Kopete as the event source and disabled notifications for
incoming messages.

Currently, in Settings > Configure Notifications for Kopete, the box is
checked for "Show a message in a  popup" and I do not receive them,
thankfully. I think this could confuse some users if they do not want
the notifications and uncheck this option only to receive the
notifications and be unable to "remove" the notifications without
removing the systemtray and then adding it back.

I am unsure if this is a problem with Kopete or the new notification
system, but it is kind of a pain. May even be spread wider for other
programs?
