           Summary: kopete floods knotify4 making it easily bigger than
                    1GB
           Product: kopete
           Version: 0.70.2
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: tux at skynet.be


Version:           0.70.2 (using KDE 4.2.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

How to reproduce:
Connect to Windows Live Messenger service. A contact bombards you with
Buzzers.(using kopete)
Knotify4 starts displaying a vast amount of notifications.

On my dual core, this isn't really a big deal.
On, let's say, a Pentium 3, even faster computers,
this could make kopete, knotify, plasma, etc unusable :s

Knotify4 took 850MB RAM the last time we tried to reproduce it.

Kopete should have an option, restricting the amount of notifications/user.
A number you could set, so knotify can only receive a certain amount of
notifications for one user. This is reseted when the user put focus to the
contacts window.

With one exeption, the notification that someone has buzzed you, so the
notification without the show/ignore buttons, should have an restriction as
well. This notification should only be able to popup once per contact until
this contact has said an amount of real words to you.

Isn't this also a knotify4 problem? Should i do a second bugreport for
knotify4? Becouse, even for 40~50 buzzers, 850MB memusage by knotify, is much,
no? :) and even after closing al the notifycations, knotify is still 850MB big
:)
