Auto-hiding notifications in KDE 4.3 (apokryphos, 16:53:37)

• Since KDE 4.3 both jobs and notifications are auto-hidden after some time by default. While this is fine with most notifications and completed jobs, auto-hiding running jobs might be confusing and might lead to unexpected results for the not so careful (e.g., unmounting of a usb drive when copying files to it, without paying attention to the not-so-prominent system-tray job running icon). (apokryphos, 16:53:51)
• https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=533001 (apokryphos, 16:54:00)
