[lucid] Confirmation bubble summary and body not updated with notify-send

[Stephan Soller]

When you use notify-send to send a confirmation (with the x-canonical-private-synchronous hint) only the icon of an existing confirmation bubble is updated. The summary and body is unchanged. This can be confusing if you do something and get a "it's broken" confirmation, change it quickly and not get the icon of an "all good" confirmation but the text still says "is's broken".

The problem can be reproduced by two notify-send commands:

#!/bin/bash
notify-send --hint string:x-canonical-private-synchronous: \
 --icon=/usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/emotes/face-raspberry.svg \
 Replace \
 "This text should be replaced"
sleep 1
notify-send --hint string:x-canonical-private-synchronous: \
 --icon=/usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/emblems/emblem-default.svg \
 Final \
 "This text should be shown now"

This shows the first confirmation bubble one second and then updates only the icon to the second confirmation. The result is a confirmation bubble with the second icon (emblem-default.svg) the summary "Replace" and the text "This text should be replaced".

This bug only hits if an existing confirmation bubble gets replaced. If the first one fades out the second one is shown correctly. To verify that just increase the sleep time to something above 2.5 (e.g. "sleep 3").
