* the notifications engine should really be updated to call into the knotify4 
daemon properly rather than “fake it” as it currently does (it just adds 
entries directly into the local notifications engine .. that this works at all 
is a happy accident of it running in the same process as the notifications 
widget which uses the notifications dataengine! but if you try this in a 
separate process such as plasma-windowed or the applet strip in plasma active, 
this fails completely)

* knotify4 is built around the assumption that all applications are installed 
to the system. this really is no longer a valid assumption in our modern day 
and age. a work around would be to copy .notifyrc files included in applet 
packages to the correct subdirectory in `kde4-config --localprefix` on 
installation and then add information as to which notifyrc to use in calls to 
knotify4 ... but this feels like a maaaaaassive hack.

i really think this is probably only something that can be properly fixed in 
Frameworks 5 with a refactor of KNotification.
