Sound: "KDE System Notifications" stop working with CF enabled

[sps]

Whenever I enable Compiz Fusion my KDE System Notifications just vanish...
I mean the sounds like: windows maximize/minimize/stick/resize/etc...
However the other sounds (from players, amsn, skype) do work normally
I tried sabayon-linux some time ago, and these sounds did work with CF enabled
It happens in 2 different systems (laptop and desktop) with different VGA boards, if I disable CF sounds will come back again!
Anyone else with similar problems?
How to fix this?
TIA

ps. I saw this report in a fedora forum:

For those who are wondering why they can't hear the KDE system sounds when the fancy desktop effects, or sometimes keyboard shortcuts don't work right, it's because compiz is doing the window management and they will have to use gconf-editor to change the settings for compiz (KDE settings aren't being used).
========================================

Does it make sense?? What this "gconf-editor" has to do with KDE? What is it for? Isn't it for gnome only?

You're posting in Kubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron, but you haven't stated what KDE version you are running - 3.5.9 or 4.x.

In my HH w/KDE 3.5.9 (what I'm in right now), I've got CF enabled (got to love the cube!) and my KDE System Notifications work just fine. Can you still get to them via K Menu > System Settings > Notifications > System Notifications > Event Source > KDE System Notifications ?

Thanks for replying
It's KDE 3.5.9, nvidia drivers from std repos
All the sounds are enabled via "K Menu > System Settings > Notifications > System Notifications > Event Source > KDE System Notifications"
If I click in the "play" button I can hear the sounds, but the events wont respond the same; ie: when I maximize or minimize some window sounds just wont work
As I stated before, if I disable CF and restart X I get the sounds back, but no t cube and those fancy effects
I just want all together, CF & KDE sounds
TIA

i have sort of the same problem, im running compiz-fusion 0.7.6 and kde 3.5.9 and my sounds dont seem to work at all in compiz either, even when i go into the settings and test the sounds i dont hear them, yet all my other audio stuff works fine.
