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

It is a service (see /usr/share/kde4/services/knotify4.desktop) which should be possible to control from systemsettings. I'm not sure if it is possible to deactivate it only then if you use another WM because a lot of kde apps writes their information over this interface and this could be more the reason that it starts. But on the other side if i see your cpu load than deactivating could be even better.-) See you, Attila
