OK. If I have to use KPassivePopup, I will just rip the code from Kopete :)
Though, for KDE4 I think the following could be done for KNotify interface:
- Let app position popup itself by passing position (passing Window ID
is not very convenient)
- Allow popups to contain clickable links which allow running apps (by
passing name of executable in href) or short scripts (in JavaScript).
- Add plugins/stylesheets for popup look :)

This would make popups fully programmable from scripts, matching
functionality of "kstart" and "ksystraycmd" tools :)

I think I saw it as a part of KDE Userguide :)

Yes, thanks a lot! :)
