	Sounds like a good guess!   Since Gnome is my main desktop, 
	where do I find the KDE control center/system notifications?  
	Bear with me: I've used CTWM for at least 10 years... .

	I *do* use artsd for my text-to-speech apps, so do have artsd
	running.  I've poked around the FreeBSD knotifyrc config file
	and find nothing on the "External player=" line.  But the
	^[Misc] section is in my Ubuntu KDE file.  What goes there?
	A path to a wav file?  The path to, say, xmms??  "player" needs
	for clarification, so an example would help.


	thanks much,

	gary
