Bug Description
Binary package hint: krb5-auth-dialog
Left unattended, krb5-auth-dialog will occasionally open a lot of notification windows, alternating between "Credentials Expired" and "Credentials Valid". It will throw up 50+ of these dialogs, completely filling the taskbar.
It seems like this happens whenever credentials expire.

I'd just like to add that these notifications are not appearing as balloon notifications, but rather the ugly dialog windows which appear when notifications are created with actions.
This continues to be pretty annoying since each notification remains until the OK button is clicked. Even killing krb5-auth-dialog does not destroy the already-created notifications.
As a workaround, I've clicked "Do not show this again" on the notifications, but this is not ideal, since I must now keep an eye on the tray applet to know if my credentials are close to expiring.
