Patch 1/1: console-notifications: add timeout none

Description Matej Habrnal 2015-07-31 13:35:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
abrt-console-notification tries to run "abrt-cli status" on every login. If there is an ".lock" symlink in one of the problem directories (the directory is locked), abrt-cli waits until the locked directory is unlocked. 

This causes users must wait until the abrt-dbus kills the abrt-cli. It takes about ~50 seconds which is a lot.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create .lock symlink in one of the problem directories 
   "# ln -sf $PROBLEM_DIRECTORY/.lock "
2. Run "$ sh -l -i -c "echo test" "

Actual results:
abrt-cli status runs until the abrt-dbus's timeout is reached.

Expected results:
abrt-console-notification kills the abrt-cli after abrt-console-notification's timeout is reached (10 seconds) and prints a message about what happened.
