[Bug 768714] Re: kded4 and knotify4 eats 100% cpu

[Jorn Argelo]

Just wanted to let you guys know that if you disable the sound
notifications (system settings -> application and system notifications)
the CPU consumption seems to go away. Running an strace on knotify4
reveals the following. Note that this is strace is done on Arch Linux
and not on Ubuntu.
