Description Daniele E. Domenichelli 2012-04-24 20:33:16 UTC 
When I receive a contact request you should be able to hide the icon without making a decision right now. The icon could be hidden for a certain amount of time or "forever" (until kded module is restarted)
Comment 1 Martin Klapetek 2012-04-24 20:36:06 UTC 
The proper way is to set the KSNI as passive (I think), that will make it hidden until it's active again. Could be a simple menu entry "Hide".
Comment 2 David Edmundson 2012-05-12 13:35:22 UTC 
Why would you ever want this?

It takes as long to select "later" as it would to select "yes" or "no". It's not a decision that I really have to think about it for a few hours.

I don't understand this use-case at all.

[BUG 298766] Received contact request menu should have a "Later" action CONFIRMED

Thomas:
Does the notification auto-hide after a while or will it stay open? 14:56:52
 
Dave:
you get the sys tray icon till you deal with it 
but the bubble goes away 

Thomas:
Then I agree with you
Comment 4 Thomas Pfeiffer 2013-12-29 15:27:25 UTC 
I agree with David on this. The notification can be closed and the icon is not too distracting. Users can finish their current task while ignoring the icon and then accept or reject the request whenever they get to it.
