[Konversation-devel] [BUG] checkbox "Use a passive window that does not interrupt other work" is disabled when checked

[Eike Hein]

Hi Erik,

a followup: Looking at the dialog, please note that
the checkbox you're talking about is conditional on
the one above it, which is also why it's indented.
You first need to check "Show a message in a popup
window", and then the "Use a passive ..." checkbox
will become enabled and you can toggle it.

This is because using a passive popup is a variant
of the general idea of a popup notification, and the
two popup variants are mutually exclusive. The beha-
vior of the KNotify system should reflect this by not
showing a passive popup even when that checkbox is
checked, but the top-level popup notification check-
box is not checked.

Co-dependend checkboxes are a UI mechanic used fre-
quently in KDE applications, and such a relationship
is usually indicated by one checkbox being indented
below another.

Again, as the dialog is not found in the Konversa-
tion codebase, we also have no control over it.
