@desrt, isn't that explained in comment #33,
i.e. in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-messages/+bug/1192300/comments/13
i.e. in patch https://code.launchpad.net/~mterry/indicator-messages/tell-accounts-services/+merge/93290 ?

SetXHasMessages is called by the accounts_notify() function that mterry
implemented.

I think what we can do in Ubuntu now, is to apply the patch, and if/when
upstream accepts it, to drop the .diff.

  Annoying dialog "Authentication is required to change your own user
  data"

Bug description:
  Every few days a dialog pops up saying "Authentication is required to change your own user data" with an entry field for a password. If I type my user's password the dialog will reappear with an empty entry field. If I click on the cross to close the window many times it will be gone, but reappear a few days later. I don't know what this window is for and it makes no difference whether I close it or leave it. I don't use the gnome keyring.
  This started with Ubuntu 15.04 or maybe with an earlier release, and is still there in Ubuntu 15.10, also on machines I did a fresh install.
