           Summary: Stop spamming user with "Nepomuk Indexing Agents Have
                    Been Disabled" notifications
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Nepomuk Feeder Agents
        AssignedTo: tokoe at kde.org
        ReportedBy: psychonaut at nothingisreal.com
                CC: vkrause at kde.org, kdepim-bugs at kde.org


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

If the user has the temerity to disable Nepomuk through the System Settings,
then every time he subsequently logs in he gets a system notification of this
trying to convince him that disabling Nepomuk was a Bad Thing.

If the user manually disables Nepomuk, please automatically disable this
notification.  Users who disable Nepomuk probably know exactly what they're
doing and what the consequences are, and it's patronizing and annoying for them
to be told over and over again that they're wrong.  After all, if I disable my
screensaver, I don't get a system notification every time I log in warning me
that the screensaver is disabled and reminding me that I'm now in terrible
danger of monitor burn-in.

(A related issue was already raised as Bug 227791 when the same warning was
displayed as a pop-up.  The "fix" for this was to change the warning to a
notification, which didn't solve the underlying problem.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable Nepomuk.
2. Log out.
3. Log in.

Actual Results:  
4. System notification is displayed (and possibly heard as well, depending on
the user's settings) warning the user that Nepomuk is disabled.

Expected Results:  
4. No system notification should have been displayed.

Please reserve this notification for the case where Nepomuk is enabled but
fails to start.
