Version: (using KDE 4.3.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages From bug #202835: "I use TuxOnIce for hibernation. During a hibernation and resume cycle some messages are generated. The KWrite service grabs those. Sometimes I have one or two messages cause several lines are concatened. But sometimes I get one message by line even when a line is empty." Sometimes I get upto 40 messages. And if there are more than 30 messages I cannot even view them anymore. When I try to open them from the panel it takes seconds, then the notes are viewed for the fraction of a second and then the view is closed again. But the notes remain in the notification applet. Thus I cannot use the notification applet anymore until I log out and log in again which clears all notes. My usual workaround for this annoyance is: pkill kwrited.

I think this should be reassigned to widget-systemtray. Sorry, I did not know that it seems to be the systemtray that display notifications a minute ago. But "Systemabschnitt der Kontrollleiste" seems to be pretty obvious. I seem to lack the bugzilla karma to reassign the bug, so please do it for me. Thanks.
I found a good way to reproduce this: do "wall /etc/fstab" until the notifications take up more than available screen height. Doing so I also get very high CPU consumption for Plasma and X.org: shambhala:~> top -d 5 top - 21:43:13 up 8:32, 2 users, load average: 1.79, 0.88, 0.47 Tasks: 169 total, 3 running, 166 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 74.8%us, 23.7%sy, 0.0%ni, 0.8%id, 0.0%wa, 0.8%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 2072776k total, 1850280k used, 222496k free, 40116k buffers Swap: 2931820k total, 0k used, 2931820k free, 773556k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 3674 root 20 0 535m 335m 3148 S 45.2 16.6 40:41.48 Xorg 19398 martin 20 0 389m 84m 37m R 40.8 4.2 0:32.44 plasma-desktop 6099 martin 20 0 249m 17m 7544 S 7.2 0.8 18:21.48 kwin 6168 martin 20 0 134m 38m 6676 R 2.8 1.9 0:26.07 konsole 6105 martin 20 0 1081m 130m 6108 S 2.0 6.4 0:06.91 knotify4 17983 martin 20 0 175m 53m 29m S 0.6 2.7 0:31.28 konqueror The only way to restore the ability to view notifications again that I found is pkill/killall plasma-desktop. I once had to do it with SIGKILL as Plasma didn't react otherwise.
