  Thanks! I didn't want to show the message all the time as I thought it might get really irritating to the kind of contrarian user who doesn't like being told what to do.

  I was concerned about that too, which is why I set the visibility imperatively rather than with a binding. So with this patch, once you dismiss it, you won't see it again until and unless you change the settings again in a way that would tripped it once more.
  
  > IIUC, the fontsHaveChanged() signal, nothing is listening to it in KDE code doesn't mean other 3rd party software isn't, and it's a change in behaviour for the KCM; I am not sure if it can be repurposed.
  
  Seems a bit unlikely to me that other KDE software or even 3rd-party software would be listening for this signal, and IIRC the signal was added after 5.18 anyway so it hasn't been released yet. But hopefully @bport or a #plasma <https://phabricator.kde.org/tag/plasma/> person can shed some light on whether or not this is a bad idea.
