Bug Description

When the computer goes into standby due to inactivity, a messagebox appears and informs the user about that (I've never seen the messagebox because the screen is then black). Once the computer returns from standby, the user discovers the messagebox and it does not go away until the user clicks "OK" or "Abort".

Often it happens, that these messageboxes accumulate, ie. when the computer goes into standby another time, a new messagebox appears.

These messageboxes are useless, because they are about (1) an obvious and irrelevant event (2) in the past and (3) require user interaction, whereas it is unclear whether to click "OK" or "Abort".

Probably we should make the message disappear as soon as the computer awakes, or even better use a different notification system (notify-osd) or no notification at all.

This is still the case in Ubuntu 14.04 daily on a different new computer. It seems not to be dependent on the type of battery/device.
