The notification-daemon stop working after receiving a transient notification.
Last modified: 2014-10-30 14:33:13 UTC
If I send a transient notification to the notification-daemon, it is displayed but after it disappear no more notifications are displayed, transient or not. Example: (1) $ notify-send "bla" "blub" # working (2) $ notify-send --hint=int:transient:1 "bla" "blub" # working (3) $ notify-send "bla" "blub" # not working (4) $ notify-send "bla" "blub" # not working (5) $ notify-send "bla" "blub" # not working, after the notification of line 2 disappeared Looking at the dbus-monitor output, for the above example, I see the method call for the first 4 calls, but not the last one. So it seems to be related to what happen in the `on_bubble_destroyed` callback, but I've not went further as I don't have time to setup my machine to debug this. I've tried other hints and didn't noticed any problem with them. I'm using ArchLinux with gnome-session and xmonad (it also happen with the gnome desktop). Here's the relevant library information: * extra/notification-daemon 0.7.3-1 * extra/libnotify 0.7.4-1

Mass-fixing incorrect assignee and QA contact scheme for notification-daemon so interested people can follow its development. (See 606364#c1 for ref.)
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
