allowing me to use system notifications. I found this link on the bug report.
But I am not at all sure how to apply it.
Thanks very much!
The genkdesvn ebuilds use a patch that allows notifications and sounds through external player even when kdelibs is compiled with --without-arts. Some of us(atleast one person other than me) have been using the patch since 2 months and have experienced no problems. Mario(the author of the ebuilds) even modified the patch to allow simultaneous sounds(the new kernels support this). Here is a link to the patch.

Because this does not work.
