Title:
  crash notification pops up repeatedly

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When the tray icon for "crash report detected" pops up the "bubble"
  notification, clicking the close button on that notification closes it
  but then it pops up again and again and again.  It should only be
  necessary to close it once.

  Amateur diagnosis (guess) of the problem:
  the crash report detection system uses some method to watch a directory for changes. (inotify on /var/crash?).  As the crash report file is written, it changes multiple times.  Each time it changes, the crash report detection system is notified of the change.  And each time it is notified, it pops up the notification bubble.
