Bug 803872

*** Bug 828357 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Accidentally, I also use LXDE (if it can be by any chance related to
not using Gnome 3).

As per [1], it is rather Gtk+ 3 bug as a root cause, though.

[1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=669883#15

This works for me:

# yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update gtk3

This will update gtk3-3.4.4-1.fc17 which works well immediatelly
after installation.

I guess it will be available by standard means soon [2].


[2] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-10722/gtk3-3.4.4-1.fc17

UPDATE: To cool down the optimism, even gtk3-3.4.4-1.fc17
        is problematic with notification-daemon.

I just got this message followed backtrace:

Not sure about the root cause nor the component causing the issue.
Perhaps what is fixed in gtk3-3.4.4-1.fc17 unmasked, by not failing
immediatelly upon notify-send, completely another bug.

The reproducer I have for this is reliable, but unfortunately tightly
connected to a unique use case (notification about new irc messages).
Will try to come up with something more reasonable.

Please ignore the previous comment, the new issue turned out to be
instance of bug 822773, which I cloned for F17 as bug 841658.

Can anyone else confirm that gtk3-3.4.4-1.fc17 (which btw. got into
stable in the meantime) solves the original issue?
I think this bug can be closed as CURRENTRELEASE.

I confirm the new gtk3 has fixed the issue on my environment.

Ok, looks like it can be closed (contacted the maintainer a week ago,
no reply).
