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

[Sjors Gielen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase-runtime

Description:
When I use KDE applications that use KNotify in a GNOME environments, I get KNotify popups as "question windows" instead of the regular KNotify popups in GNOME environments. For an example, see the attached image.

What I expected:
Since I am using GNOME, I'd expect the old KNotify-in-GNOME popups to appear, as in [0]. If there was some better integration, like the KNotify messages appearing in libnotify popups, it would be even better.

What actually happened:
A dialog as in attached image. It sometimes pops up in front of all other windows, sometimes it goes under the other windows. As you can imagine, the popup popping up in the front is a real nuisance.

Extra info:
I am using Ubuntu Lucid (10.04) beta 1;
ii  kdebase-runtime       4:4.4.1-0ubuntu3           runtime components from the official KDE 4 r
ii  kdebase-runtime-data      4:4.4.1-0ubuntu3            shared data files for the KDE 4 base runtime
