  This seems unlikely to me simply given that all the major DEs have notification systems installed by default, so the pool of people you're talking about would be limited to people using purely DIY systems or bare-bones tiling WMs. In such a case, by deliberately not installing notification stuff, those users are signaling that they don't want notifications, in which case, they should be //happy// to not see KPassivePopups, no? :)

  Then we should make it more reliable. :)
