Bug#234328: knotify: knotify: should have flood prevention

[Paul Johnson <baloo@ursine.ca>]

Package: kdelibs4
Version: 4:3.2.0-0+cvs20040204+cm
Severity: wishlist
File: knotify
Tags: experimental

New feature idea.  When you configure notifications, and you see...

[ ] Play a sound: 

...there should be a complimentary option like this...

[ ] Play a sound: 
  [ ] ...except when this notification has played a sound within the
         last [___] seconds


Kopete in particular exploits this weakness by accident:  If you have
any kind of popularity, anything that creates an apparent mass
enterence or exodus, such as connecting to or disconnecting from one
or more IM networks will trigger a sudden cacophony that tends to be
quite startling at any volume.
