Bug#628845: notification-daemon: window manager crashes with large notification text

[intrigeri]

Hi,

(Stumbling upon this bug report while looking for an issue similar to
what I'm experiencing.)

This bug report was filed from a Squeeze system, and this version of
Debian is not supported anymore. Ed, can you still reproduce it with
current Debian stable (Wheezy) or newer?

Also, if the window manager crashes, even if the crash is triggered by
a GTK widget created by notification-daemon, I think the bug is in the
window manager itself, so perhaps this bug should be reassigned.
My guess is that the maintainers of that window manager will then find
out that it's actually a bug in GTK, but who knows :)

Cheers,
