Hi fellow KDE users;

Sent to both lists for wider consideration.

I installed openSuSE 11.4 Milestone 6 a couple of days ago and have two gripes with the KDE desktop. This has KDE version 4.5.95 (RC2).

1) Upon starting, whether from cold boot or restart, the "Mail Notification Properties" popup appears. I've searched through "Configure Desktop" but haven't been able to find how to turn it off. I don't use the KDE mail program (kmail) and don't want to be notified about new messages. How can I turn this annoyance off?

2) Is there a way (as in Winblows) to turn the sound off for ALL notifications without having to turn off every single "play sound" button on every single program, EASILY at a single click? Winblows at least allows one to click on "no sounds" for system notifications and still have audio available.

In system settings -> notifications -> playback settings, just turn it off.

3) Guess I lied! Is there a way to turn off the VERY annoying buzzer sound that occurs in some programs when bad keyboard input occurs (such as trying to delete beyond/before a fill-in box? It annoys my wife when she's sleeping and I'm working at the keyboard.

This is nothing kde specific, check in alsa if you have a 'beep' output, mute that, besides also remove the pcspkr kernel module. (yeah that is really annoying)

Thanks, Tom

It sounds like the popup is being restored by session management. Could you pastebin an screenshot of the popup? It seems very odd that KMail's notifications dialog would be session managed, so I'd like to know exactly what popup it is. If it is session management, a way to clear the stored session is to change the Session Management settings in System Settings to 'start with an empty session', login once, clearing any stored session, then go back to your previous session management setting.

As already suggested, set the notifications volume to 0. A 'disable all sound notifications' would be a good feature, suggest it at bugs.kde.org.

Check that 'System Bell' is not enabled in System Settings. HTH Will -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
