'Tis OK now (at least the sound "events" part)...I found the answer in KDE bugzilla. Have to change some settings in /home/usr/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc to true; apparently KDE (at least the Debian unstable package) doesn't do it properly by default.

I've found this quite a bit with KDE (especially with KDE & sound), it's not really 'broken' it's just that you have to find & change some setting in some really obscure config file somewhere.

Don't suppose you could have a look at my questions 'Knoppix.clean script' posted in remastering forum could you?
