Well, that seems like kind of a complex issue. It doesn't seem safe to
simply assume all notifications older than 'X' are obsolete and should
not be shown - seems far too simple. So, I'm not sure there's a single
'fix' for this.

In any case this is clearly a GNOME thing not a Fedora thing, so it'd
probably be best to discuss it on a GNOME list, or at least on the
desktop@ list rather than test@ ?
