That it is posted in bugs.kde.org is sufficient.

When the fix is applied by the KDE dev team it will pass down to Kubuntu in due time.

That happens.

Very few software projects, KDE included, have sufficient manpower to eradicate all bugs on the basis of one posting to the bugzilla. Bugs are usually fixed in priority of importance, and less important bugs get pushed back because besides KDE the devs have other concerns as well, like their families, their jobs, R&R, etc...

This bug is still present in Natty.

Natty works great but with this bug system looks very unpolished.

Doesn't do so here. I have it configured to Auto (the default), and it does not show in the System Tray unless it is activated. It is in the drop-down listing (Show hidden icons).

For me the notification is much more central - and to be honest, natty seems to be constantly changing - took it as a new thing and thought it looked quite nice.
