My notification applet has gone bonkers on me:



All of a sudden it started spurting out these messages, at least one a second and whatever I do I cannot get it to stop.

I tried deleting the applet from the task bar but then the messages appeared in the middle of the monitor.

What can I do to check who causes them?

can't id all the apps in your tray but assume one is calling Google, could it be YaWP using Google Weather Service?

what's the coffee cup and the British Flag icons?

Cheers google. Shortly after I posted this the notifications stopped so I didn't get any further with my investigations (only tried top and iotop anyway but there must/should be a top relating to network activity...).

Anyway, my tea cup is kteatime (I do drink a lot of tea and don't hear the timer in the kitchen) and the flag business is for the KDE keyboard control module.

for network activity I use Socket Sentry http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=122348

Installing it as I write. Many thanks for your excellent tip
