Comment 12 for bug 182923

Hi,

here is my 1 cent contribution: for me the problem seems to be connected with hibernation. I´ve been using mail-notification for a quite while (about 2 years) along with kernel hibernation suport, and the problem seems to be recurrent. Moreover, it often happens after a return from a long hibertnation period.

After googling a little, I've found this post that seems connected to the mail-notification problem:

My guess is that there is a problem with gdk_threads_add_timeout(), which possibly builds on g_timeout_add() from glib, and hibernation. Specifically, callback re-scheduling code at glib may be getting lost due to the clock skew cause by hibernating.

Hope this would help somehow.
