[Bug 418354] [NEW] kdialog --passivepopup doesn't use the notification area

[Malte S. Stretz]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase

According to pinotree on #kde should kdialog --passivepopup send a
message to the notification area (ie. call
org.freedesktop.Notifications.Notify via dbus):

[00:44:23] <moonflux> anybody an idea how to use knotify from a script? dbus via o.f.Notifications doesn't seem to work because dbus-send doesn't support stuff like arrays and dicts
[00:44:40] <pinotree> moonflux: kdialog --passivepopup
[00:44:59] <moonflux> pinotree: oh. thats too simple ;) thanks
[00:47:30] <moonflux> pinotree: unfortunately that doesn't use the notification stuff but a model-like dialog-thingy
[00:48:08] <pinotree> kdialog --passivepopup "The Text" --title "The title" 10
[00:48:17] <pinotree> (10 is the timeout in seconds)
[00:48:31] <moonflux> jepp, that doesn't use knotify
[00:48:38] <pinotree> wrong, it does
[00:48:50] <moonflux> ok, it doesnt use the notify thingy in the tray area
[00:48:59] <moonflux> at least not in 4.3.0
[00:49:13] <pinotree> it should
[00:49:21] <moonflux> but doesn't. bug?
[00:49:38] <pinotree> or local problem on your side? dunno
[00:49:51] <moonflux> I use the Ubuntu packages
[00:49:56] <freinhard> i guess that's a packaging issue
[00:49:58] <freinhard> same here
[00:50:15] <moonflux> and I was able to send something to the notification area via qdbusviewer
[00:50:40] <moonflux> I'll file an ubuntu bug
[00:53:13] <moonflux> pinotree: which distro and kde version do you use? (for the bugreport)
[00:53:33] <pinotree> i still use kde 4.2.4
