Thanks for the positive feedback :)

Bart: I'm not sure if it should also affect the notifications.
Shouldn't the KDE notification system take care of that?
My kopete notifications for example don't show up if I have mplayer in fullscreen (OK, there's a flickering bug, but in theory it should work: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=247656 ).

Kevin: sure, putting the code in the KNotificationBackend class seems nice.
The OSD could use it then.
The question is though: where should I put the CheckBox in the UI, as the OSD settings should not affect the "system notifications"?
I could move it under "Use system notifications" but leave it left-aligned, so it's on the same level as "Use On-Screen-Display" and "Use system notifications".
