Bug#756748: notification-daemon causing xfce4-panel to be unresponsive

[lewowpard]

Package: notification-daemon
Version: 0.7.6-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
     On booting, an error message saying notification-daemon cannot load
because another instance already running.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
     The problem seems to just pop up randomly, and the panel becomes
unresponsive. If I left-click on any part of the panel, it becomes right-
clicked and brings up panel menu. Other applications that require keyboard
input become unresponsive (as if somebody pressed shift) as well. For instance,
terminal: If I press D on the keyboard, the window closes. Or in browsers
(chromium, midori  and iceweasel), and geany, if I scroll down, the page is
zoomed out.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
     Panel and some applications become unresponsive. I have to log out and
back in to solve the problem. I had the same problem in xubuntu 14.04 and
switched to debian to see if the problem persisted. At first there wasn't any
problem, but after adding notification-daemon to the panel, and a few booting
latter, the proble came back.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
     All works normal.
