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?

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!

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

Whew! Found answer on gentoo forums.

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 .
