Bug Description
When using a custom image with the notify-send command (e.g. notify-send -i /home/<
Example "code":
cd home/<username>
cp image1.png test.png
notify-send -i /home/<
cp image2.png test.png
notify-send -i /home/<
Of note is that this appears to affect both the notification shown on an unlocked desktop and one shown on the lock screen; however, these can be "stuck" on different versions of the image, although they will remain stuck. That is, the notification bubble shown on the lock screen will always shown one version of an image, and the desktop notification will always show one version of the image, but these are not necessarily the same image. So a notification generated with "sleep 5; <command>" (and you locking your desktop in the 5 seconds) will show one image, and then when you unlock your desktop the same notification can be a different image.
