This is a known plasma bug. It works fine with the old (kde 4.0) knotify popups and with gnome's notification-daemon. Unfortunately I cannot find the upstream bug number right now, but I am certain that it has been reported upstream. Rumor has it that the plasma notification system has been polished in 4.5 and that such layout bugs have been fixed... I will check it with 4.5 when it has been packaged. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qt-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
