Guys,

Running Gnome, knotify 4 is killing my system. From top, it is taking over 90% of the cpu:

Can this 'feature' be turned off when I'm in a desktop other than kde4?

I don't think you want the "feature" of 90% CPU usage when you're running KDE either. It sounds like a bug. Try Googling. Just googling knotify4 gave me two Arch Linux posts and an upstream KDE bug that collectively offered at least three workarounds to suit your fancy.
