 * This is an instant notification.  It ends automatically after a small timeout

 * @li complex notifications:
 * Notify when one received a new message, or when something important happened
 * the user has to know.  This notification has a start and a end.  It start when
 * the event actually occurs, and finish when the message is acknowledged.
 *
 *
 * use the static function event() to fire an event
 *
 * the returned KNotification pointer may be used to connect signals or slots
