+
+<para
+>&kde;, like all applications, needs to inform the user when a problem occurs, a task is completed, or something has happened. &kde; uses a set of <quote
+>System Notifications</quote
+> to keep the user informed on what is happening.</para>
+
+<para
+>Using this module, you can determine what &kde; does to communicate each event.</para>
+
+<para
+>The panel consists of a large list of specific events which need to be communicated to the user. This list is organised into a tree, so that you can rapidly find the notification you are looking for.</para>
+
+<para
+>To configure a notification, simply click on a group, which will open up a subgroup. You can click on subgroups, which may lead to more subgroups, or it may lead to a list of notifications.</para>
+
+<para
+>Once you have found the notification you are looking for, double-click on the notification.</para>
+
+<para
+>You will be presented with 4 options:</para>
+
+<variablelist>
+<varlistentry>
+<term
+><guilabel
+>Log to file</guilabel
+></term>
+<listitem
+><para
+>This will tell &kde; to add the notification to the end of a file. Once you place a mark in front of this option, you can enter a filename at the bottom of the module. If you click on the <guiicon
+>folder</guiicon
+> to the right of the blank, you can browse through your filesystem and select the file you want.</para
+></listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+<varlistentry>

+><guilabel
+>Play sound</guilabel
+></term>
+<listitem
+><para
+>When this notification is activated, &kde; will play a sound. Once you place a mark in front of this option, you can enter a filename at the bottom of the module. </para>
+<para
+>If you click on the <guiicon
+>folder</guiicon
+> to the right of the blank, you can browse through your filesystem and select the file you want.</para>
+<para
+>By clicking the arrow button to the right of the <guiicon
+>folder</guiicon
+> button, you can hear the sound.</para>
+
+<para
+>Maybe you want to use a special media player to play sound files, &eg; because you use sound files in a special format or you don't use the &arts; sound daemon. In that case, check the <guilabel
+>Use external player</guilabel
+> option and enter the full path and name of the program you want to use into the text field.</para

+>You are not limited to choosing one option, you can use any combination of these four options for each notification.</para

+>Enable All Sounds</guibutton

+>Disable All Sounds</guibutton
