           Summary: Notifications / Bell in Non-Visible Session doesn't
                    work
           Product: konsole
           Version: 2.7
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: goffi at goffi.org


Version:           2.7 (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

Bell notifications are really necessary e.g. to be notified when somebody write
to you in a chat software.

There are 2 options for that in Konsole 2.7:
- Bell in Visible Session
- Bell in Non-Visible Session

To try them, I just do a echo -e "\a"

Bell in Visible session works, but all the time, even when the session is not
visible, this can be annoying when you are chatting (you can have a bell each
time somebody is writing to you).

Bell in Non-Visible Session doesn't work at all, neither "Play a sound", "Show
a message in a popup" or whatever). To try it, I use a sleep 5; echo -e "\a"
then I change konsole tab, or go to an other app during the delay.

I'm using Kubuntu 11.04.

There are a few (old) bugs similar to this one, but it seems that the
notifications menu where not present at the time, so I added this entry:

- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165193 
- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124241
- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177861

I would be nice to fix this.

thanks
