Thanks for the report! I can confirm in master, looks like a regression.
@Frank: Before investigating into this: For 4.9 it is planned to use KMessageWidget for errors and warnings (see also http://agateau.wordpress.com/2011/04/21/kde-ux-2011/). If someone of us has the time to fix this for 4.8.x it is great of course, but if it turns out to be quite complicated to fix then just let us wait for 4.9 (however I guess it is only a minor thing).
