Description Sjors Gielen 2009-11-02 16:35:24 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
Compiler:          i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5490) 
OS:                OS X
Installed from:    Mac OS X (Fink) Packages

On Mac OS X, when a KNotify notification popup is shown, it steals focus. For example, When I'm writing something and someone comes online on KMess, focus is stolen when the notification pops up and I have to click the text entry to continue typing.

I would expect the popups not to steal focus. Apart from that, if the native notification system Growl is installed, it should use that instead, as many OS X applications currently already do.

Am currently fixing this myself.

SVN commit 1164056 by sgielen:

FEATURE: 212751
Reviewboard entry 4962
Implements 'simple' Growl support for Windows and Mac in KNotify. DBus is preferred over Growl, but Growl is preferred over KPassivePopup. Should not change anything on Linux systems, with or without DBus daemon.
