Well, it's solved on my system anyway. Like several others on this list, after updating to KDE 3.4, I could play sounds, but the System notifications didn't work.
I found the answer on linuxquestions.org
Open /opt/kde3/bin/startkde and find the line that reads:
"LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit"
That should be on two lines like this:
"LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit+kcminit"
Seems this is just dead wrong. See http://dot.kde.org/1059469759/1059488101/
Now, add the line:
"KNotify Init=true"
to the [StartProgress] section of ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc.
This is not necessary. Just changing the line LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit into kdeinit +kcminit" and not more has the same effect. But, like I said, this is IMO the *wrong* solution. But I think LD_BIND_NOW has indeed something to do with the failing system sounds and the arts-built-at-home-is-ok-solution. Sorry, CorvusE. I have to admit, it is a way to get the system sounds working, but it is - IMO - not the /right/ solution. Cheers, Leen
