Yes it does, (but my problem was mainly w/ thesystem bell not giving
audible output.)

Yes both of these worked for me as well. (This certainly will be handy
if I want to run gimp every time I open a new window 8-)
So it seems that your whole notification system is failing you (except
maybe system bell).
Have you tried setting up another user for testing? It seems like this
might be a way to find out if there is a problem with your whole system
versus just something specific to your user login
(in /home/yourName/.kde)
I remember some mails about files in /var that people needed to delete
after upgrading to kde3.1, don't know if that could be related
As I was getting ready to send this it occured to me that when I run
ksystemguard (kmenu ->System->KDE SystemGuard) and view the process
table I almost always see a command named knotify. (found in the rpm's
kdebase3, kdelibs3, kde2-compat)
I tried "man knotify" and suseHelpcenter but found no information. it
seems a suspicious coincidence...
The files
~/.kde/share/config/knotify.eventsrc
~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc
might hold some clues as well.
