My KDE notification system is broken? [SOLVED]

Hi!

I have a problem with notification system.
It's rather old for me, but now I decided to dig into it :).
So, here's the picture:
It seems, that my kde notifications don't work at all.
I open kcontrol "Sound&Multimedia->SystemNotifications"...

First, I have no arts, so I tried to specify ogg123 in player settings. When I press "Play" button nothing happens.
Second, I tried to use passive popup notification instead of sound. Nothing pops up.
Third, I tried to log notification to the file ~/tmp.txt. No file is even created.
And the same (=no) result when using "Mark the taskbar entry".

I tested all this using KDE Window system notification "Window is Maximized" by maximizing one of my windows :). What can be simpler? :D

And now I'm wondering, should I file a bug or this is my KDE setup broken somehow? I thought so earlier, when I had KDE-3.4.x, but during switching to KDE-3.5.0 I decided to completely delete my ~/.kde to start from the beginning :). But to no avail.

Anyone has any ideas?
Thanks in advance! :D

PS. Oh, and I'm Gentoo user, using KDE-3.5.0. Any other info needed? :)

Whew! Found answer on gentoo forums.
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-319807.html

KDE notification system is working only if arts support is compiled in.
That's rather strange, of course, but at least now I know the answer :).
emerge kdelibs with "arts" in USE will help me :D.
