OK, I think I know what the problem is. The app is for monitoring system 
services and must run as root to be able to do anything. There are two 
knotifys running, one as my user and one as root. I guess there is no way to 
connect the root knotify to the user widget? But I can run the app as my user 
and do the service stops/starts with sudo. Then I get the popups in the panel 
widget.


Thanks!
