 Gotta love people that don't consider using a shared implementation even an 
option.

 Do I? From KPassivePopup docs - A dialog-like popup that displays messages 
without interupting the user. What does a notification need more than some 
text, possibly an image and maybe buttons? If it contains more than that it 
IMHO is a bit too big and annoying to be a passive and without interrupting 
the user.

 SVG is still only a picture unless I'm missing something, and AFAIK KNotify 
in KDE4 is supposed to be able to have buttons for feedback. If not I'm 
probably going to add those bloody buggers myself because all those home 
brewn notifications that cannot be changed into anything else sometimes 
really irk me.
