Public bug reported:
When using a custom image with the notify-send command (e.g. notify-send
-i /home/<username>/images/test.png "test") the image, once loaded, is
not refreshed. This can be tested by running a command such as the
example one, then overwriting "current.png" with a different image, and
running the command again. The images shown in the two notifications
will both be the original image. I would expect the second image to be
different.
Example "code":
cd home/<username>/images/
cp image1.png test.png
notify-send -i /home/<username>/images/test.png "test"
cp image2.png test.png
notify-send -i /home/<username>/images/test.png "test"
Of note is that this appears to affect both the notification shown on an
unlocked desktop and one shown on the lock screen; however, these can be
"stuck" on different versions of the image, although they will remain
stuck. That is, the notification bubble shown on the lock screen will
always shown one version of an image, and the desktop notification will
always show one version of the image, but these are not necessarily the
same image. So a notification generated with "sleep 5; <command>" (and
you locking your desktop in the 5 seconds) will show one image, and then
when you unlock your desktop the same notification can be a different
image.
