Cannot terminate sbackup (unhandled exception in case of not implemented 'attach_to_status_icon')

[Paul Barbee]

Right clicked on sbackup icon in the system tray, clicked "Cancel backup", an error window popped up and requested that I file a bug report.

The window said:

Sorry, this should not have happened
An uncaught error occurred. Close this message window and restart the application.
Please report this error on bugs.launchpad.net/sbackup.

'pynotify.Notification' object has no attribute.
'attach_to_ status_icon'

Traceback (most recent call last):

Distribution: Arch Linux x86_64.

I tried closing the application again using root password instead of local user and the application terminated without further feedback.

Well, using sbackup 0.11.4 of Ubuntu 13.04 (fresh install) has the issue that I can not terminate a running backup. It doesn't fail with an exception but keeps telling me that the password is wrong. However it is exactly the same password I started sbackup or I start the restauration.
