Sometimes Gmail notifies get stuck

[Robert Dyer]

Sometimes Gmail will update, find a new email and fire off a notification. That notify never appears and the checker thread gets stuck. Then the next time you manually reload or it automatically reloads the thread is killed and a new checker is started.

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

This is either an upstream issue with notify-sharp (libnotify0.4-cil) or ndesk-dbus.

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

Note that the bug tracker for notify-sharp seems to be gone so there is nowhere to file against that upstream. Until I eliminate that library as the problem I am reluctant to file upstream against ndesk-dbus.
