started and what for. I noticed that if this process starts. the
gnome-menu panel gets a very slow response.

/usr/bin/artsd -F 10 -S 4096 -s 60 -m artsmessage -l 3 -f

Probably.  "artsd" suggests it is a daemon for "arts", and locate shows an
arts RPM, and rpm -qi arts shows that it is an Analog Real Time
Synthesizer, so you might lose some sound.  Rpm -ql arts doesn't show any
docs, but Google shows www.arts-project.org.

Commonly used by the kde notification system.. If you start a kde program
that play sound, you'll get artsd running (this might conflict w/ other sound
daemon/players systems).

I think it's a pity that artsd that ships isn't jack enabled :-(

Mainly because jack isn't in Fedora Core (or Extras for that matter). 
Are you offering to package it for Fedora Extras?  (-:

I was invited to package something for Extras after I solicited advice on
where to put something I wrote.  While I waited around for a couple of
weeks on the Extras list for someone to "sponsor" me, I read the
Contributor License Agreement.  You should read it.

Just curious... couldn't see a copy via Google, found you needed to
apply for extras CVS access before you could see a copy.

https://admin.fedora.redhat.com/accounts/

It says there that the agreement is only needed for CVS write access,
however it is suggested here

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Contributors

that in turn that is a step necessary to be a contributor to Extras.

What was your opinion of the agreement?

I am assuming you are referring to 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=168630

A brief introduction

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/Licenses/

Here is the Fedora CLA
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/Licenses/CLA

Apache CLA for reference
http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt

You are free to request any clarifications on the CLA in the 
fedora-extras list.

That the contributor licenses his contribution to Redhat and the
recipients downstream on a more liberal basis (2.a) that may be the case
for the license of the contributed work is probably what raised an
eyebrow.  But it hardly seems evil, particularly as Redhat are desperate
to get any even small structural contribution performed upstream,
outside this agreement, anyway...

The CLA itself is fairly straightforward on its requirements. 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/Licenses clarifies the rationale. 
Moving forward, Red Hat is aiming to transfer all of the related 
copyrights, patents etc to the Fedora Foundation. Again, if anyone has 
concerns as a potential contributor, these should be raised in the 
appropriate mailing lists. For packagers, fedora-extras list would be 
appropriate.

KDE Control Center, turn off "sound system".

And if you're not within KDE, simply start kcontrol from xterm.

Andy, isn't there a way to tell the knotification stuff NOT to use arts but
another sound system (alsa, esound, etc.)?

I'm afraid I don't know.  Being able to nuke noatun and kaboodle, the
usual cause of spawning artsd accidentally would be nice too.

I'm currently trying Gnome after a long absence due to the unmistakable
Gnomeward bias I am seeing from the major distros (eg, Fedora + SuSE
now)  But even so I find myself drawn to konsole, kate, etc as they are
superior to the Gnome alternatives...
