Does eliminating the KNotify daemon mean that apps like KTTSD cannot subscribe 
to notification events from all applications?  It would be impractical for 
KTTSD to have to keep track of every application that comes and goes and 
connect/disconnect from those apps.   To see what I'm talking about in  
KTTSD, look here:

http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdeaccessibility/kttsd/knotify.html

The ability to have a single message hub for notifications is important to 
accessibility.

One way to solve this without having the KNotify daemon would be for the 
client library to automatically put every notification on the dbus (with 
appropriate type flags, etc.) or broadcast a dcop message.

BTW, the freedesktop.org spec you reference already calls for a notification 
"server", so KNotify doesn't really go away?
