Yes, I have a problem with that dcop signal.
there will still be an daemon, but only for passive popups, so that's not 
enough.

But KTTSD could be included directly into KNotification 
I mean that add more actions in the the current notification config dialog.
Note that this dialog will also be reworked in order to make it more usable.

I will have a look.

Yes, but it will only handle passive popups.
