But then it makes me wonder if you actually need KNotifications altogether.
I'm not aware of anyone actually testing KNotificaitons on win/mac and I
personally wouldn't guarantee it works at all on !linux.

Same for Kate - do you actually need KNotifications at all on win/mac?
If not, it would be better to just drop that dep from Kate/Krita/whatever
than split KNotifications package which isn't used anyway.
