Package: zenity
Version: 2.30.0-1
Severity: normal
It may be that I am failing to understand the documentation and examples
on the web, but zenity --notification --listen never quits and does not
remove its icon from the notification area
What I did:
$ ( sleep 2; echo "message: hello world" ; sleep 3) | zenity --notification --listen
What happened:
A red warning sign is added to the notification area.  After two seconds
a bubble pops up to say "hello world".  After a few more seconds it goes away
but the notification area icon remain onscreen indefinitely and I never
get my shell prompt back
What I expected to happen:
I expected the command to terminate and remove its notification area icon
after 5 seconds from the time I pressed Return
