Recently, after upgrade related with some gnome-2.30 packages (gtk+-2.20 ?), I discovered strange behavior of notification-daemon. When notification-daemon tries to show notification invoked by rhythmbox/banshee a broken window appear (see screenshot) and notification-daemon freezes. Banshee also freezes after that, rhythmbox continues to work but becomes sluggish. The only way to remove broken window is to kill the notification daemon. Other applications (mail-notification, notify-send) seem to be capable to display notifications unless notification-daemon freeze happens. I tried to change the daemon to xfce one - in the latter case rhythmbox works without any problem.

I made some investigation. First of all I have download the latest notification-daemon from gnome git git://git.gnome.org/notification-daemon The bug is reproducible with current git version in the case if standard theme is used. But if slider theme is used - the bug disappears. In gentoo version only standard theme presents. Below I attach the backtrace for crash of current git version of n-d *** glibc detected *** /usr/local/libexec/notification-daemon: corrupted double-linked list: 0x080e6dd8 *** ======= Backtrace:

So, the workaround for the time being is to use current git version with slider theme. The ebuild is attached

What about to assign the bug?
I cannot reproduce this problem at all, but we will try to follow upstream report
