if you keep getting the annoying “Launching HTTP Cache Cleaner” in the panel on ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex while running amaroK or other KDE apps you’ll need the new kde4 systemsettings manager to hide this.
to get this to work just type:
sudo apt-get install kdebase-workspace-bin systemsettings
and then run
systemsettings
then this windows should popup
then click on desktop and you’ll see the notifications
just uncheck the “enable taskbar notification” part and you’re done!
[edit]
for those who don’t want to install this stuff you can also just edit the file:
~/.kde/share/config/klaunchrc
and set
TaskbarButton=false
mine looks like this:
[BusyCursorSettings]
Blinking=false
Bouncing=true
Timeout=30
[FeedbackStyle]
BusyCursor=true
TaskbarButton=false
[TaskbarButtonSettings]
Timeout=30
[edit #2]
somehow this doesn’t quite work as good as i thought. you might want to check the ubuntu bug for updates.
