I read a message on a message board that said to edit (as root) the file
/opt/kde3/bin/startkde. There seems to be an error on line 242:
LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit
The line should be split into two lines like this:
LD_BIND_NOW=true
kdeinit +kcminit
Apparently the knotify program wasn't getting started when KDE starts
up. This fixed the problem for me.
I've read several messages about rebuilding the ARTS source rpms, but I
didn't have to do that.
