for examplelike this:
dcop --user kevin knotify default notify "" "" "Message" "sound.wav" "" 3 2

the last number changes the notification level, the number before is the 
notifcation type.
In the example 3 means message box and sound (1 + 2) and 2 means warning.

See the definition in knotifyclient.h (below the declaration of the Instance 
class)

If you know the window ID of a running application, you can even use passive 
popup, like KMail can do for "new mail" messages.

dcop knotify default notify "" "" "test" "" "" 16 1 39845930

16 means passive popup, 39845930 is the decimal window ID
This is highly theoretical as it isn't easy to get the window ID in a script.

I think the fromApp parameter, where I used just an empty string, can be used 
to have this applications Icon in the message.

Cheers,
Kevin
