           Summary: when kget crashes it leaves an orphaned notification
                    behind
           Product: kget
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kget at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kai at kaishome.de


Version:           2.3.0 (using 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0), Gentoo)
Compiler:          i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.30-gentoo-r4

When kget crashes (and it does that pretty often during transfers, there are
already multiple bug reports of that) it leaves an orphaned notification item
(a stuck progress bar to be exact) behind in the systray area of kde. This item
cannot be removed other than by logging out from kde. BTW: I hate that because
kde runs pretty stable and I seldom need to log out. ;-)

This is probably less a problem with kget than more a general design problem
with the notification mechanism. So please move the bug if appropriate.

I leave the severity as "bug" instead of "crash" because while a crash is
involved the orphaned item is just an artifact of that and no crash per se.
Still it is annoying. It happens with kopete sometimes too which seems to loose
track of its notification items and thus some cannot be closed/removed. At
least since kde 4.3 this is less often and less annoying.

This bug is reproducable with kget. Just make it crash (eg by sending
appropriate signals). Progress in notification won't be cleaned up.
