so then the problem is a lack of information. can we solve this problem?
can we educate KDE apps on the importance levels, and/or go around patching
apps to make proper use of them?
it seems to me that the API is there, all we need is for both sides to *use*
it.
and then, if an app misbehaves, can we think of a nice way to let the user
override it? most kde apps have ridiculously configurable notifications :) but
some non-kde apps (like whatever pete's using for IM, pidgin I think) are
hardcoded to spam every tiny boring event... would a UI for "these apps are
unimportant" be a good feature for the notification applet, or do we just tell
the user to use well-behaved apps?
