Title:
  Huge number of 'Disk Utility' notification windows

Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: notify-osd

  I have a disk that is about to fail (Disk Utility says so) in the
  computer and there are two warning windows opened every 20-30 min or
  so.

  So if I leave computer unattended there is a HUGE number of the
  windows opened...

  This used to work fine before Natty because instead of many new
  windows there was only one icon in the notification area. The icon is
  gone now but the warning windows keep popping up.

  I also tried to find a way to stop the Disk Utility warnings (no luck
  yet) but one way or another there shouldn't be unlimited number of
  warning windows open for repeated warnings.

  The reason I am reporting this a notify-osd bug is because the warning
  windows belong to /usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osd (as indicated by
  xprop _NET_WM_PID):

  steffl@hangplace:~$ xprop _NET_WM_PID
  _NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL) = 1998
  steffl@hangplace:~$ ps ax|grep 1998
   1998 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osd
  10808 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto 1998
  steffl@hangplace:~$ xprop _NET_WM_PID
  _NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL) = 1998
  steffl@hangplace:~$ ubuntu-bug 1998
