Maintainers are not responsible for the messed up configuration of your system. In KDE 3 times, if you ran any GNOME app, gnome-setttings-daemon would take over your desktop (wallpaper, shortcuts etc.). So if this still happens to a lesser extent nowadays, that's a rough life but it is not really a job of KDE to fight GNOME at all costs. It is the job of GNOME to be friendly. If you want to complain to somebody, complain to the maintainers of the offensive application which triggered this for you (maybe some self-centric gnome (or whatever?) configuration tool?). Finally, KDE should not go against user wishes if (s)he wants to use notification-daemon for whatever reason. As Kevin said, you should better find out how notification-daemon ended up being started *before* plasma-desktop behind your back. That would be interesting. -- Modestas Vainius <modestas@vainius.eu>
