KPassiveNotify tool

[Frerich Raabe]

Moin,

a while ago I wrote a tiny tool called 'kpassivenotify' which is meant to be 
used by console applications which want to show a little notification message 
on the user's desktop. I'm using this for various scripts now (for instance, 
my kde-build script uses 

kpassivenotify --timeout 5000 --caption "KDE Build" "Compilation finished"

to give me information messages in a non-disruptive manner about the progress 
of the script, without requiring me to monitor the script's output all the 
time. I was recently made aware that this could be useful for other people as 
well, hence I polished it a bit and am now ready to publish it. I attached 
the sources for this tiny tool together with a man page documenting it's 
behaviour, in case you are curious. I'm planning to commit this to kdebase 
after KDE 3.4 has been packaged. What I'm not sure about is where to put it, 
though.

Does anybody have an opinion where such tools should go? I noticed that 
kdialog got it's own kdebase/kdialog subdirectory, but I'm a little hesitant 
to grant that to kpassivenotify. :-)
