Howto Disable HTTP Cache cleaner notification when using KDE apps on Gnome

How to disable the “Launching HTTP Cache Cleaner…” process that appears every once in a while on the taskbar/panel when using KDE apps like Amarok in GNOME.

Install kcontrol

sudo apt-get install kcontrol

It’ll probably install kdebase-data kicker and libkonq4 too (not sure if they’re needed but let it do it).

2. Go to Applications -> Other -> Cache. Uncheck the “Use cache” option, Apply, Close and you’re done!

With these two simple steps you’ll get rid of that “Launching HTTP Cache Cleaner” window forever.
