Bug#637067: notification-daemon: crashes on receiving notification

[Robert Norris]

Downgrade is reasonable, since its obviously not widespread.

I'm running an awesome config that I assembled a long time ago, back when
its notification daemon ("naughty") was still new and rather buggy. I have
it disabled.

I run awesome from gdm. I've attached my .xsessionrc and my
.config/awesome/rc.lua. It might throw up some errors when if you use it
around setting background images, but it should still work.

Using awesome 3.4.10-1 on an up-to-date sid.
