Description H.H. 2010-01-22 17:02:13 UTC
Version:           Unbekannt (using 4.3.90 (KDE 4.3.90 (KDE 4.4 RC1)) "release 210", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.2)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop

Notifications cover much too much space of the screen, and cover my workspace, which I cannot see & click then.

I will attach a screenshot of typical notifications. The same notifications  could be placed in much less space (kde3 had nice little kopete notifications, kde4-notifications take 3-4 times as much space). They should always take the minimum required height and width and should not have much decorated borders for saving space.

I also think the close-buttons are not needed, a click on the notification on non-button-space could achieve the same result.

I think I  have an idea would could cause the width amount of the notifications: could it be the categories of "last notifications"?

see next screenshot. then this should be also considered as a bug.

very much width

The "too wide" issue is being tracked at bug 223201. (it should have a maximum width of 400px~). I can't be sure about the height issue.

The height issue is fixed by grouping notifications together, so that for example the screenshot with the 3 notifications would only show 1 notification and the titles of the other ones, thus saving a lot of space.
This is as of KDE SC 4.5.
