Comment 59 for bug 304033

Well, the random crashes are hard, because thankfully, they're few and far between.

The double bubbles happen on EVERY message, which is rather annoying. I threw in some very crude debugging code:

         for index, message in enumerate(new_messages):

             image = hasattr(message, "image_path") and message.image_path or ''

             self.notification_bubbles[n] = message
+ print('popping up message: %s' % body)

Then, I ran gwibber and waited:

popping up message: saw a giant bug in a gas station restroom today - wanted to ask it if it needed a newspaper and a match. I'm here all weekend, try the meatloaf.
popping up message: Off to Columbus today, and no, that's not some arty metaphor. Although why that would be thought metaphoric is beyond me. I'll shut up now.

There is about a 30 second pause between the two bunches of bubbles. It feels almost like a dbus timeout issue.

libnotify is 0.4.5, dbus is 1.2.12 (ubuntu may have older versions?)
