Hm, it works for me - can you describe in more detail what happens?

I guess we should look into this... I think having a well defined list  
of the situations when the notification is supposed to popup and when  
it definitely should not would help...

It seems clearly that the code is not tested for all the possible  
combinations. I have also a number of identities, some of them have  
signatures, some of them do not and it seems to work fine. I think it  
may have something to do with the specific order the operations are  
done. Do you think you could write down an algorithm to reproduce the  
problem?
