Hi,

by default all well-known applications show in history.

Having DesktopEntry= in the notifyrc should make it show up in System 
Settings. Make sure the notifyrc file is intsalled in the correct 
location and the DesktopEntry matches the desktop file name and that the 
desktop file isn't marked as Hidden etc.

Also, applications that aren't properly registered like above but have 
sent a notification once will be registered and show up in the list.

Make sure the desktopFileName in the QApplication/KAboutData is set 
correctly. Check the "desktop-entry" hint of the notification emitted by 
KAlarm using dbus-monitor if necessary to find out if it sends the 
correct hint.

Cheers
Kai Uwe
