Description Pascal d'Hermilly 2013-11-26 09:17:26 UTC 
When triggering the passivepopup with
  kdialog --passivepopup 'This is a notification' 5
it does not hide again after 5 seconds. 

Kdialog uses the plasma notifications which is nice - is it a problem with plasma?

Reproducible: Always

It works here (hides after 5 seconds). Can you check if it works with a freshly created user account? If not, please try to find the setting causing the issue.
Comment 2 Pascal d'Hermilly 2013-11-26 11:18:14 UTC 
I formulated myself badly.
Indeed plasma visually hides it automatically - however it does not remove it which I would expect from a timeout. It stays in the queue of notifications. If much used, it will slowly build up a long list of expired notifications together with the valid notifications.

btw. testes on guest account.
Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2013-11-26 11:50:32 UTC 
The idea is that if you are not sitting in front of the machine, you will be able to see a "backlog" of notifications. I am not sure if there is API to discard a notification completely, once it is posted.

Disabling Plasma notifications hides the popup without a way to get it back.
