Description Jesse 2011-11-21 02:58:06 UTC

Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

When the Nepomuk service is disabled in KDE's system settings (Desktop Search panel) logging into KDE causes several pop-up notifications to cover the screen, warning the nepomuk service is displayed. This messages cannot be dismissed and the user must wait for them to disappear. There does not appear to be any way to prevent these messages from appearing at login expect by re-enabling the nepomuk service.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Go into System Settings, Desktop Search. 
Remove the check from the box labeled "Enable Nepomuk semantic desktop"
Click Apply.
Reboot computer. Each future login receives multiple copies of the pop-up message warning nepomuk is not running.

Actual Results:  
Top half of desktop is covered in warning messages which cannot be dismissed. They eventually disappear on their down.

Expected Results:  
This messages probably should not appear at all since the user must manually disable the service. However, if the developers feel the error is important, I suggest it would be preferable to display the message only once. Or, alternatively, display it with a "do not show again" option.

This is an Akonadi message box. We cannot disable it from Nepomuk.

Fixed in KDE 4.8
