Version: KDE: 4.1.87 (KDE 4.1.87 (KDE 4.2 >= 20090101)) "release 3.1", Plasma Workspace: 0.3 (using Devel)
OS: Linux
Installed from: Compiled sources
When the screen is locked & black, notifications still show through. The
screen was locked using the Lock/Logout plasmoid. Two examples: kmail
and kopete. With kmail it is not so problematic, as it just shows the
number (and directories) of new mails received. But with kopete, the
received message text is displayed; what is worse, it does not seem to
ever go away.. so if you leave your computer locked and go somewhere,
other people can very easily read your incoming kopete messages.
I am filing this bug as a plasma bug because maybe the best idea would
be to disable notifications showing altogether while the screen is
locked, as a lot of notifications may contain private text? Or just
specifying that there are one or more notifications waiting, but
actually displaying them when the user unlocks the screen?

I wonder if this is related to some composite drawing issues with widgets-on-screensaver...
anyawys, the notifications-showing problem was in kde3 too - it seems like sometimes the lockprocess restacking code works and they go away fast (or at least go grey), but often something goes wrong and the screensaver binary itself appears to be drawing over the notification - as if the thing painted itself into the window the screensaver paints on. not sure what's really going on there but it makes for some odd effects.

I tested this bug some more, it is possible that this part of my
original bug report is wrong: "what is worse, [the notification] does
not seem to ever go away". I tried it with two computers today and the
notification does go away after a few seconds, also after the first
kopete message, the following ones did not appear anymore.
I'm not sure what happened yesterday that the kopete notification was
not removed after those few seconds (I came back to work and it was
there on my locked screen, after unlocking the computer the kopete
timestamp indicated the message was sent 2 hours ago).

Notifications are drawn over screensaver and then when they disappear, a seethrough region is left there where the notification was until the screensaver redraws.

I have the same issue, under KDE 4.2.65 and both Qt 4.4.3 and 4.5. My
gfx driver is the intel one, with compositing off (and I remember kde
exposing the bug with compositing on, too).

As far as I understand the commit changes the way native KDE
notifications are shown and not all other possible scenarios.
So, I might be wrong or this bug is not yet resolved.

hmpf - works for me:
while :; do kdialog --passivepopup "This is a test" 5; sleep 10; done
then lock the screen.
intel gfx, no compositing (unlikely that it matters).
it's logical that the notification stays on the screen once it gets on
top of the screen saver - for performance, many savers redraw only the
actually changed contents. and as they don't expect strange things to
happen, they don't react to regional repaint requests, either.
somebody who can reproduce the problem please paste the messages from
krunner_lock (4.1) / kscreenlocker (4.2) found at/near the end of
~/.xsession-errors (provided kdm is used, otherwise you have to figure
out yourself) after unlocking the screen.

I firmly believe that fixing just KDE applications will NOT fix this
issue, since I have other applications which show their notifications
above screensaver (e.g. audacious xosd).
So, it seems like a KWin bug for me.
Oops, I'm repeating myself :)

The last remaining issue in this bug has probably been in the
compositor: the notification got stacked *behind* the lock window (not
visible) but when the notification closed the window (fade out/slide
out) animation stacked the notification above the lock window (visible).
With 4.9 we fixed bug #158262 which means the notification is no longer
stacked above the lock window so I am quite confident that finally this
very annoying bug has been fixed.
For the record:
Git commit 431aad6d6994695e72697fcc3299ec2cb6f0684e by Martin Gräßlin.
Committed on 09/04/2012 at 11:06.
Pushed by graesslin into branch 'master'.
Keep position in stacking order for deleted windows
Workspace::addDeleted swaps the Client with the Deleted in the stacking
order. For Unmanaged windows the Deleted is appended to the stacking
order which is the same layer.
When the deleted is closed the window is removed from the stacking
order.
The result is that a deleted window is no longer raised above all other
clients.
