Public bug reported:

Having left my computer logged in but locked for a few days, I came back
to it to find 9 dialog boxes notifying me that there are new updates to
install. I would have expected a new dialog to only appear if there is
not already a dialog present on the screen, otherwise a lot of these
dialogs could build up.


Ubuntu Release Info:
Description:	Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
Release:	18.04

notify-osd version: 0.9.35+16.04.20160415-0ubuntu2

A screenshot showing the 9 dialogs is attached. These all originally
appeared on top of each other in the centre of the screen, but I moved
them to see how many there were.

I think this is actually a bug in either the Software or Software
Updater programs, but running `ubuntu-bug -w` and clicking the dialog
showed notify-osd as the program responsible for the window.
