We have knotify... and someone was working on adding an osd (based on
amaroks) to KNotify for kde4.1 or so... I'm not exactly sure what
happened to it, but we should really look into that, as if we could
use knotify (and growl support could instead be added to knotify for
os x...) it would make our code oh so much cleaner.
