<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Nice feature, if it works overall. Is there a question for usability except the fact that we need guidelines on notification along with its configuration in general?</pre>

This patch adds a configure button to notifications that, when clicked, open the KNotify settings for the app that emitted the notification.
This makes it much easier to turn off a notification you do not want and you have no clue where to turn it off (no novice user would know that you can actually turn these off, not even speaking of where)
I asked Olivier Goffart for permission to use his notifyrc lookup code that is licensed GPLv2 in this LGPLv2 code. We need to do this because according to the specs the application name passed to the notification system is "[…] the optional name of the application sending the notification. This should be the application's formal name[…]. An example would be "FredApp E-Mail Client," rather than "fredapp-email-client."
So KNotify had to be modified to not only expose "KDE Power Management System" to the dataengine but also its internal name "powerdevil".
For illustration how it works, see here: http://666kb.com/i/cdzg50m1huwc1k751.jpg ;-)</pre>

- Amarok: Shows configure button properly
- PowerDevil: Shows configure button properly
- Konsole: Shows configure button properly
- Free Space Notifier: Shows configure button properly
- KDialog: Does not show configure button, as expected
- QDBusViewer to issue a notification using the FDO DBus iface: Does not show configure button, as expected (it does, when your passed appName happens to match an application, which is rather nice, though)</pre>
