I also confirm this/these bug/bugs (using Slackware-current's kde 4.2.0 testing
packages, all kde4 settings are defaults).

The new knotify experience is awful:

- View and Ignore buttons do not work.

- Sometimes old read messages get stuck in the knotify queue. This is not a
directly reproducible bug, but it happens randomly. But you cannot remove them
from there and they keep coming back with every new unread message. Focusing on
the chat window makes the new unread messages go away, but the old read
messages that got stuck, still get stuck in there.

- The knotify queue is annoying when the message queue gets big. It covers a
large part of the screen and it's not clear when it times out or it times out
very slowly or it doesn't time out at all.

- It's not clear and not documented what the Kopete -> Configure Kopete ->
Behavior -> General -> Message Handling -> Use message queue does and how it
interacts with knotify:

I think the old kde3 kopete balloon/notification was better:

1) Kopete Balloon with View/Ignore buttons for the new(unopened) chats
2) Knotify message pane for displaying the contents of the last post of an
already open chat. This pane times out a little bit later. That was very
useful. You work on a different desktop and at the same time you view the
posts, they time out, you keep on working and answer them later.

I was trying to have kopete notifications in kde4 behave the same way as above,
in kde3. The documentation on message queue is missing. I guessed that all I
have to do is set Message Handling to "Open instantly". That almost did the
trick, because notifications now do not pile up, but the problem then is that
the notification window is totally instant (the pane gets displayed for 1
millisecond! :) You can't catch up with it as in the old days )

Users please vote for this bug(s) and developers please confirm. Please tell us
if we have to open different bugs for all the above problems and/or if we have
to file them under a different bugzilla product.

TIA
