I don't think that the KDE sound system nor notification 
system is running if you aren't using KDE.  Doesn't matter 
if you have some KDE apps installed.  But as to where KDE 
sets this, I couldn't find it.  I tried changing my timeout 
from within the GUI and couldn't find any altered config 
file either in the .kde directory under my user, or in 
/usr/share/kde4.  Sorry.
