Title:
  "could not back up files" dialog never shown; breaks scheduled backups

Status in Déjà Dup:
  Confirmed
Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  On the conclusion of a backup, if any nonreadable files exist in the
  backup source directories, Deja Dup shows a notification at the bottom
  of my screen telling me that the backup completed but not all files
  were able to be backed up; "see dialog for details". However, this
  dialog never appears. As a result, the "deja-dup --backup --auto"
  process never terminates, as it's waiting for me to close a dialog
  that never appeared in the first place.

  This effectively breaks the automatic, "set-and-forget" backup
  strategy, as deja-dup-monitor will not launch another scheduled backup
  until the deja-dup process exits, which will never happen.

  This only happens when deja-dup is launched with "deja-dup --backup
  --auto"; launching with "deja-dup --backup" (no auto) does show the
  dialog at the end of the process, allowing me to close it and properly
  terminate the backup.

  ~$ lsb_release -d
