I’ve gotten a couple of complaints on the amount of daemons that is launched by default by any app built upon the KDE Frameworks, so I investigated one of them a bit.<\/p>\n

The knotify daemon currently seems to do two things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Keeping some dependencies out of KDE Framework libraries<\/li>\n
  2. Recieve messages from dbus, parse them, encode differently and send them on to other places over dbus<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In the past, the knotify daemon was also responsible of showing popup-messages.<\/p>\n

    So, I did a quick experiment here in Switzerland to try kill off that daemon and merged the code from the daemon into the KNotification part of kdeui.<\/p>\n

    As a proof of concept it works, and if I can cut out some of the newly introduced dependencies it can end up being really nice. There is much less need for a separate daemon these days where knotify doesn’t actually paint the popups itself, but rather passes them on to a galago-spec<\/a> implementing part of the workspace (on linux) or to growl<\/a> for various non-free platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
