[kde] [4.2.0] Notifications aren't working



I decided to fully switch to KDE 4.2.0 and its applications. For
example the KDE4 version of Kopete instead of the KDE3 one, etc. To get
a fresh start with no configuration problems, I built everything from
scratch and using Qt 4.5.0 RC1. However, I'm facing a problem.
Notifications/events don't seem to be working. For example, if I set up
various notifications in System Settings (like for example playing a
sound when minimizing windows or a pop-up when switching desktops),
nothing happens. No sound, no pop-up.

This is a real show stopper for applications like Kopete. Now, when
someone tries to chat with me, I have no way to tell that there's
actually someone trying to chat with me. No pop-up notification by
Kopete and so sound. Kopete turns useless.

If I actually click on the "play" button in System Settings to preview
the sound, it plays fine. But only there.

I'm on Gentoo Linux AMD64.
