KGlobalAccel notifications

'Twas brillig, and Aurélien Gâteau at 28/01/10 08:27 did gyre and gimble:

Yeah I agree here. With the PulseAudio support in Kmix the notifications
are coming in with every new application that plays sound (due to
per-app volume control), so it's quite invasive.

Glad Michael has disabled this again :)
