Description Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2012-02-22 22:06:07 UTC 
I've found that this happens most often with "window is ready"-type notifications. Sometimes, hovering over the notification will make it disappear, but the gradient should still be visible.

The notification may appear to go into the notification stack, but clicking on the summary item, it shows an empty boxpointer.

This probably just papers over the real bug but it seems to work.

I did some more testing ...
There seem to be some other breakage (unrelated to this patch) where notifications randomly don't get expand.

We should find the root cause and fix that so this patch probably shouldn't be needed.

st-table: Fix copy/paste error in st_table_remove

When porting from st_container_get_children_list to this code, I accidentally
broke StTable by a copy/paste error. This broke notifications that updated,
leaving them with what they think were 0 columns and 0 rows.
