hi,
every time I close a window in KDE*4.4.1, a popup shows up saying "Starting KTTSD Failed" and I don't know why KTTSD tries to start. I don't have it installed right now, but when I had it, KTTSD showed up after I closed a window for the first time, and it didn't appear again. if I don't have it, like now, the KNotify popup appears every single time I close some window, it's annoying.


what should I do? I know I can install KTTSD but I don't need it. I wish I could disable the setting which triggers KTTSD every time I close a window in KDE.
thanks!

Is KTTSD the text-to-speech engine? Do you have something set up as a
window close notification in systemsettings?

yes

yes, it's set up to play a sound when a window closes. just that.
I realized the KTTSD popup only shows up when I click the X button. if I close by a menu entry, for example (like File > Close), it doesn't happen.

I see that KWin has a notification event for Delete Window, could this be
involved?

I thought that KDE4 uses KDEWM not KWin ... ?

Dunno where you got that name. There's no such thing, and I don't think there
ever has been:

$ locate -i kdewm
$
$ locate -i kwin | grep bin/
/usr/bin/kwin
...
$

There is such a thing but it appears to be a variable not a executable.
I found several references to it in the KDE mailing lists. All related
to KDE4 by the way.

It's not KDE4-specific, but you are correct that it's the name of an
environment variable, not an actual KDE component.

Setting KDEWM was the standard way of getting compiz instead of KWin for
your window manager in KDE3. Now that KWin composites all by itself,
not really necessary, but the variable still works as before.

I'm prone to errors tonight - I hit Reply and ended up sending it to Alan and
missing the list. This is what I wrote:
========================================
Oops! You're right, $KDEWM is a variable for the window manager, which may be
defined as the kwin.

test -n "$KDEWM" && KDEWM="--windowmanager $KDEWM"

Sorry for the noise.

I see that KWin has a notification event for Delete Window, could this be

involved?
how do I check what's set up for that event? there's nothing unusual in Notifications > System Notifications > The KDE Window Manager nor in Window Behavior > Window-Specific.
