Public bug reported:

When the computer goes into standby due to inactivity, a messagebox
appears and informs the user about that (I've never seen the messagebox
because the screen is then black). Once the computer returns from
standby, the user discovers the messagebox and it does not go away until
the user clicks "OK" or "Abort".

Often it happens, that these messageboxes accumulate, ie. when the
computer goes into standby another time, a new messagebox appears.

These messageboxes are useless, because they are about (1) an obvious
and irrelevant event (2) in the past and (3) require user interaction,
whereas it is unclear whether to click "OK" or "Abort".

Probably we should make the message disappear as soon as the computer
awakes, or even better use a different notification system (notify-osd)
or no notification at all.
