Expanded notification

I've reported a similiar Bug to the Debian bugtracker at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580229

copied the text here:
Package: kopete
Version: 4:4.4.3-1

After updating KDE to 4.4.3 the appearance of notifications from KDE
programs in the awesome windows manager have changed. Before that, KDE
notifications showed up in a large ugly grey box in the upper middle of
the screen.
Now, the notifications appear in a smaller black box in the upper right.
The new notification box seems to be the one that's provided by awesome.
So it seems, KDE has implemented some freedesktop standard stuff in the
notifications.
But the kopete chat message notifications don't have any text and
therefor are empty little squares.

András: does this problem remain for you? i've stopped seeing it for a couple of weeks now.

I've made a separate bug report out of my issue: 237544

Yes, I can still see it in trunk. Clicking on a link in a mail in KMail always triggers it.

SVN commit 1142924 by sreich:

change async call to sync. add some debug statements because I really want to nail this. fairly certain I've lost my mind at this point in time, everything points to this. I can't reproduce the bug after the change, either - albeit it is a difficult bug for me to reproduce, in the first place. whomever can reproduce the bug, please check as soon as possible and let me know...

It doesn't help. :( See the attachment screenshot. I got it just by clicking on an URL in a mail in KMail.

Screenshot of blank notifications.

I'm having some blank notifications being showed. They have no text and no icons. It's happening on 4.5.0.

Yes, still happens with trunk + kmail from 4.4 when clicking on a link inside kmail.

Same problem here with KDE SC 4.5.1, Debian Sid. Notifications have no text, independent from used plasma theme. It's not related to one specific application, it's for downloads, video-streams and so on.

i never seen the problem again for the whole 4.6 development cycle, closing again.
reopen only if it happens with 4.6 or newer.

I have this problem with KDE 4.6.4. It seems to happen when I try to fetch a cover in amarok (2.4.1).
