MessageTray: remove source if associated application exits (2.54 KB, patch)
2011-03-07 22:34 UTC, Neha 		committed Details | Review

Description Guido Günther 2011-02-18 09:21:17 UTC 
When an application using persistent notifications get killed (e.g. by SIGTERM, SIGSEGV or SIGINT) the persistent notification doesn't get removed from the message-tray. Since the buttons on the notifications stop responding this confuses users, especially since a second notification shows up once the app is restarted. 

Tested with gnome-shell 2.91.5 and rhythmbox as well as krb5-auth-dialog.

MessageTray: remove source if associated application exits

We don't want sources that are no longer associated with a running
application to stick around in the message tray.
