54 "Network Credentials expired" popups since yesterday

[Darxus]

Binary package hint: krb5-auth-dialog

I got in to work today to (at least) 54 popups saying my network credentials expired.

Can you check if the popup is already displayed before doing another one? I think this would be best because you would still keep getting the popup until you renew your credentials (which is important because all access to the lan at work silently fails without it), but not get 54 of them in one night.

If not, can you store somewhere that you've already displayed the popup once since the last time credentials expired?

I walked away from my desk for roughly 10 minutes, and when I got back roughly 10 of these dialog boxes were waiting for me. There should only ever be one at a time.

Exact message is:
  Network credentials expired
  Your Kerberos cerdentials have expired
