nm-applet notifications show multiple "Don't show this message again" buttons

[Bryan Jacobs]

The nm-applet bubble displayed when connecting to a wireless network contains a steadily increasing number of "don't show this notification again" buttons. At first, only one such button is shown. As I suspend-to-RAM and resume my laptop, the connect notification I get shortly after resuming contains more and more buttons. Eventually it fills my entire screen's horizontal span.

I feel like I might be being shepherded into clicking this button. But I like getting the bubble notice each time I connect to a wireless network! :-P

Confirming on Maverick with notification-daemon. To be more specific, the number of "Don't show this message again" buttons increases by one every time a particular action happens. For example, the first time I connect to wifi in a session, I get one button. Second time, I get two, etc.

Confirming Robert Wall's observations, reproduction is more general then only suspend&resume, even a plain connect-disconnect cycle introduces a new button every time.

Found an upstream bug which describes the same problem and added it here so it can be tracked.

If someone is capable of updating the remote bug or finding a better matching remote bug, please be my guest.

Still an issue in Natty.
