Bug#648378: notification-daemon stops displaying pop-ups after 20 unacknowledged messages

[Tony Green]

Package: notification-daemon
Version: 0.7.6-1
Followup-For: Bug #648378

Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation?
More than 20 messages generated through notify-send. This is from a photo-
import script which keeps me informed of its progress by telling me each file
it's importing.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Ran the program as normal. This caused no problems on the Xubuntu installation
I have just replaced with Debian. After 20 files had been imported, the script
failed with the following message:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.Notifications.MaxNotificationsExceeded: Exceeded
maximum number of notifications at /home/tony/bin/camera line 29

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Script crashed and I was unable to proceed until I'd edited it to remove the
notify-send lines.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Script should have continued normally to completion.

I noticed afterwards that the notification area in my panel had kept all of the
messages that had been sent; I can't understand why this should be the case for
what should have been transient messages.  Especially as there's no such
problem in a near-identical Ubuntu installation.
