Hi Francesco,

sorry for the very late reply.

A dialog window? It should be a notification, no real window.

I don't know and can't remember that I ever saw that myself (and at
least currently can't reproduce it).

There is none. Should work out of the box and does for me. :-/

I must admit, I have no idea. I'm not really experienced in writing
GUI applications and fought a lot especially with GTK.

GTK being an always moving target is also one of the reasons why I
didn't work on this project for quite a while. Took me ages to get
this working with GTK3 instead of GTK2. And everything seemed to get
just more complicated.

Since for the upcoming 1.2.0 bascially the whole GUI backend stuff
changed, I wouldn't be surprised if this issue will be gone with
1.2.0. But since I can't reproduce this, I can't test it.

In case you're curious, you could build the soon-to-be 1.2.0-1 package
from a git checkout of https://github.com/xtaran/systray-mdstat and if
that fixes it, I'll close the bug report with the upload. Otherwise,
I'd wait for your feedback after uploading 1.2.0-1 and then
retroactively close this bug report if it's fixed.

                Regards, Axel
