[kde-freebsd] qdbus and knotify

[Mel Flynn]

Hi,

I used to be able to use dcop to send arbitrary notifications. Now I'm forced 
to use dbus, yet I have no way that I'm aware of to send QByteArrays or 
QVariantList through using sh or php. In other words, the dbus interface is 
not so useful:
method int org.kde.KNotify.event(QString event, QString fromApp, QVariantList 
contexts, QString text, QByteArray pixmap, QStringList actions, qlonglong 
winId)

Did anyone here figure out yet, how to use this? I searched google but only 
seen posts with the same frustration, no solutions other then using python's 
dbus methods, which I'm trying to avoid.

I could use kdialog but the problem is that I can't specify specific sounds 
for specific passive dialogs. In fact, the above method doesn't show me where 
to put the sound file either.

I basically need the equivalent of:
dcop knotify Notify notify notify Me "Hello World" hello.ogg nofile 3 0;
