notify-osd crashed by choqok, initially thought to crash randomly

[Craig Cabrey]

Binary package hint: notify-osd

I was just installing an application (via aptitude) when notify-osd crashed. Nothing was attemping to use it at the time. I don't know how I could reproduce this.

I don't see a way to edit my original report, so I'll add this as a comment.

I think notify-osd crashes when Choqok (a microblogging app for KDE/Qt) tries to send a notification. It just happened again to me and I recall Choqok running when it happened the first time (and when I submitted this report).

I added the Choqok source package to the report.
