Version: 0.80.2 (using 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 183", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.2) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31.3-1-default back in KDE 3.5 there was a check-box allowing to bypass default notification settings, while checked it allowed to basically disable all notifications albeit it was a pop-up, sounds.. this allowed me to have a group of contacts which were 'silent' like bots .. or people I didn't like to be in my contact list, but still important enough not to delete them, something like a grey area. this is nothing of great importance, but I miss it anyway, so here is the bugreport
As for me, there is 'Custom Notifications' tab in the conact (or group) properties where I can set notifications settings for selected contact (or group). Is this wish resolved for you? I'm using KDE SC 4.4.92 aka 4.5 RC2.
