Please no. Personally, I use notification-daemon in kde, as I find it
somewhat better than the kde notifications, which are quite broken in
4.4 (but used to be fine in 4.3), so such a conflict would just give
me a nightmare.

Note that notification-daemon doesn't start automatically if it is
installed. It starts together with gnome applications, so you are
probably running a gnome application that causes the trouble. In an
ideal world, gnome applications should detect and use the kde
notification system, just like kde does with the gnome one. I'm not
sure about the details, but I bet this is something to be fixed in
gnome.
