Looks like this specific TDM issue might be a red herring. I have been
tweaking rc files and now popups are showing. I don't know which
specific rc file changes made the difference. One way or another, seems
the core problem is whether knotify loads automatically. I don't know
the root cause why knotify was not loading on some systems yet loading
on others.
There is knotify as part of tdelibs. I saw
recently an option to
enable/disable the notifications but I do not recall where exactly I saw
it. It was not a trivial place. May be you can check k/dcop interface.
Check if you have knotify running.
I have been doing that all afternoon across several different systems.
Some user accounts launch knotify and some do not. I have been unable to
find anything unique to cause the differences. I even diffed the
$TDEHOME directories.
I get the vague feeling the problem is related to whatever knotify
depends for backend packages, if any.
If you want to see notifications from non TDE
applications you need
kdbusnotification package (I am using my version which utilizes
dbus-1-tqt)
I have had issues with the kdbusnotification package. We had a
discussion here many months ago. The notable issue for me is the daemon
ignores the notify-send expire-time parameter and seems fixed at 6
seconds or so. I use the expire-time parameter.
