Correct, but we should delimit the scope of the specification anyway.
So visual notification, and that's it.

As far as plasma is concerned:  no sound played, (knotify take care of playing 
the sound), no configuration (knotify takes care as well).

The documentation of the configuration thingy is there:
http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kdeui/html/classKNotification.html

the documentation of the dbus protocol is there: (ok that's not really 
a 'documentation')
http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdebase-runtime-apidocs/knotify/html/knotify_8h-source.html

IMPORTANT NOTE:   This is NOT the visual notification stuff, and it is out of 
the scope of the galago 
so, yes, this should go in another thread.
