Thanks for the report!

That behavior is actually correct as it notifies only when the window does not
have focus, otherwise you'd get the notification sound with absolutely every
single message and I can imagine that being annoying after a while. Even
facebook plays no sound when the chat is focused (though they do play a sound
when the pause in the chat is longer than N).

In fact, you can probably try it on yourself with very simple patch (if you are
using self-compiled install, otherwise it won't work):

Open ktp-text-ui/lib/chat-widget.cpp and change line 676, in the codeblock
looking like this:

    if(isOnTop()) {
        kDebug() << "Widget is on top, not doing anything";
        return;
    }

and change it into

    if(isOnTop()) {
        kDebug() << "Widget is on top, not doing anything";
        //return;
    }


Recompile and install. And then try using it for a while. I'm pretty sure it
will get annoying :)
