Actually, David sent this e-mail after I came  into irc asking about the 
status of things.  I took the silence from this e-mail and my finding of 
some bugs in kttsd as motivation to fix some.  So those checkins were 
myself and Oliver (knotify dude) trying to make sure things are somewhat 
functional for the 4.0 release. :)

What I understand from speaking with some on irc #kde4-devel etc. is 
that Gary is no longer able to work on this, but has done some 
iterations of porting it to kde4 (back when kde4 libs were still 
unstable) and just probably needs a bit of touch up to get it up to par 
for the release (at least that's what I've experienced personally in 
trying to use kttsd in kde4 so far :)

Any help is appreciated, and I plan only to focus on bugs at this point, 
but if wanted/needed, I'll take on more as time permits.
