 * @li Interface feedback events:
 * For notifying the user that he/she just performed an operation, like maximizing a
 * window. This allows us to play sounds when a dialog appears.
 * 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
