When installing KDE on friends' computers the most frequent question I get asked is how to disable those annoying popups and sound events. Eventually I grew really tired of disabling every single sound notification one by one and really started to miss the "Disable all" option from KDE3's days and Windows.

Here's what I think would help a lot when configuring notifications:


I think the mockup is pretty much self explanatory. There's 4 buttons for each notification type. If there's any notification enabled, the "Disable all" button is shown. The "Enable all" button is shown only when there's no notification of the same type enabled. The press on the button applies the action only to the currently listed items (Event source) - KDE System Notifications in the mockup.
