Version:            (using KDE 4.0.98)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:                Linux

I compiled KDE 4.1 RC1 from sources on gentoo. I did not compile all components. If KDE starts then a notification message saying "Unable to find a Multimedia Backend" pops up. However it does not only pop up once but repeatedly until you manage to hit the ok button. Thus, after a second or so, you have about 100 notifications on your screen. If you click the ok button on any of it then all notifications disappear.
The message seems to pop up each time KDE tries to play one of its system sounds.

I might missing phonon and all that multimedia stuff - however I think that in such a case, ONE notification would be enough :)

In KDE 4.0.5 the problem does not occur. I tried KDE 4.1 Beta 1 and there the same happens as in KDE 4.1 RC1.
