This alone would clear out the idea of making it a dialog

Quite easy from my POV. The reason why I agreed to this patch was that the 
notification is collapsed after a few seconds. If this was not the case, I 
would not have considered the possibility of turning it into a dialog.

What about extending KNotification by having a parameter that would make the 
notification not to collapse after a few seconds? That would fix the issue in 
the best way. And considering that the notification already acts this way (if 
configured so) for KIO jobs, I bet that's fairly achievable without too much 
hassle.

Yes, or even 20 as Sebastian pointed out. That could be a even more sensible 
value.
