Description Nick Elliott 2011-01-05 12:47:12 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.4) 
OS:                Linux

I noticed this behaviour after I received an upgrade to 4.5.4.

Previously when I attached a USB device such as a drive or media player the device notifier would display a notification for a few seconds and then auto-hide. Now the notification remains on screen indefinitely until I manually close it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Attach an external USB device

Actual Results:  
Device notifier displays a list of 'Available Devices' which remains on-screen indefinitely until I manually close it

Expected Results:  
The notifier should auto-hide after a few seconds
