Public bug reported:

I installed gbirthday 0.6.10 on my Ubuntu 18.04 system. I was successful to 
install (sudo apt install) and run it. But after the first restart of the 
system it crashes now all the time and gives me this output when starting it 
from the command line:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gbirthday", line 12, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/share/gbirthday/gbirthday/__init__.py", line 239, in main
    status_icon = StatusIcon(addressbook, conf)
  File "/usr/share/gbirthday/gbirthday/status_icon.py", line 42, in
__init__
    self._reload_set_icon()
  File "/usr/share/gbirthday/gbirthday/status_icon.py", line 99, in
_reload_set_icon
    notify.show()
glib.GError: Unexpected reply type

I tried to uninstall and re-install gbirthday but it would not help.
After another uninstall I installed the zip-version (also 0.6.10) with ./gb, 
but I get the same error when trying to start it up. 
Then I installed python2-gnome which was mentioned in the README but this did 
not help, either ...
I am puzzled as it worked on the fresh install but why not afterwards anymore. 
Any hint would be appreciated (if you time).

PS: gbirthday was ported to qbirthday
(https://github.com/lafrech/qbirthday), maybe this newer app can be
included in the Ubuntu repositories although there is a annoying bug:
