I think we need to ensure that if the DE is KDE, then all apps communicate 
with the KDE notifications. and similarly under a Gnome DE, that all apps 
communicate using the Gnome notifications.

If this means we need to extend Plasma, and propose patches back to KDE for 
Plasma, then I am all for it, as long as we 1) engage the core KDE upstream 
teams and 2) get buyin from said teams on any proposed solution.

I assume this this is what you are driving at in solution #2. Solution #1 does 
not fit the bill here.
