Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources Some job notification when integrated in the system tray will have no text and seem to never disappear. An easy way to reproduce is to click on an URL in a mail inside KMail. Attached are the screenshots how it looks. Clicking on further mails introduces new empty notifications and they will go away only if you cancel them.

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. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages kopete depends on: ii kdebase-runtime 4:4.4.3-1 runtime components from the offici ii kdepim-runtime 4:4.4.3-1 Runtime components for akonadi-kde ii libc6 2.10.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libexpat1 2.0.1-7 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libgadu3 1:1.9.0~rc2-1 Gadu-Gadu protocol library - runti ii libgif4 4.1.6-9 library for GIF images (library) ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.1-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libidn11 1.18-1 GNU Libidn library, implementation ii libkabc4 4:4.4.3-1 library for handling address book ii libkde3support4 4:4.4.3-1 the KDE 3 Support Library for the ii libkdecore5 4:4.4.3-1 the KDE Platform Core Library ii libkdeui5 4:4.4.3-1 the KDE Platform User Interface Li ii libkdnssd4 4:4.4.3-1 the DNS-SD Protocol Library for th ii libkhtml5 4:4.4.3-1 the KHTML Web Content Rendering En ii libkio5 4:4.4.3-1 the Network-enabled File Managemen ii libkmime4 4:4.4.3-1 library for handling MIME data ii libknewstuff2-4 4:4.4.3-1 the "Get Hot New Stuff" v2 Library ii libknotifyconfig4 4:4.4.3-1 library for configuring KDE Notifi ii libkopete4 4:4.4.3-1 main Kopete library ii libkparts4 4:4.4.3-1 the Framework for the KDE Platform ii libkpimidentities4 4:4.4.3-1 library for managing user identiti ii libkutils4 4:4.4.3-1 various utility classes for the KD ii libmeanwhile1 1.0.2-3 open implementation of the Lotus S ii libmediastreamer0 3.2.1-2 linphone web phone's media library ii libmsn0.3 4.1-1.2 high-level C++ library for MSN Mes ii libortp8 3.2.1-2 Real-time Transport Protocol stack ii libotr2 3.2.0-2 Off-the-Record Messaging library ii libphonon4 4:4.6.0really4.4.0-4 the core library of the Phonon mul ii libqca2 2.0.2-1 libraries for the Qt Cryptographic ii libqimageblitz4 1:0.0.4-4 QImageBlitz image effects library ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.6.2-4 Qt 4 D-Bus module ii libqt4-network 4:4.6.2-4 Qt 4 network module ii libqt4-qt3support 4:4.6.2-4 Qt 3 compatibility library for Qt ii libqt4-sql 4:4.6.2-4 Qt 4 SQL module ii libqt4-xml 4:4.6.2-4 Qt 4 XML module ii libqtcore4 4:4.6.2-4 Qt 4 core module ii libqtgui4 4:4.6.2-4 Qt 4 GUI module ii libsolid4 4:4.4.3-1 Solid Library for KDE Platform ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8n-1 SSL shared libraries ii libstdc++6 4.4.4-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libv4l-0 0.6.4-1 Collection of video4linux support ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library ii libxml2 2.7.7.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii libxslt1.1 1.1.26-3 XSLT processing library - runtime ii phonon 4:4.6.0really4.4.0-4 metapackage for the Phonon multime ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime
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.

deleting a small file triggers it everytime for me, todays trunk
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.
Created attachment 48434 [details] State of the bug as of rev 1143626
Created attachment 51057 [details] 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).
