Outdated notifications lurk in the indicator #277

Description

What Happened?

Very often after opening the indicator I see notifications that are days or even weeks old. Notifications regularly survive reboots too. Is there any useful reason for these outdated notifications lurking around?

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Boot your device.
  2. Do you already see the red dot on the notification?
  3. If not, wait for some and then reboot.
  4. You can see notifications surviving reboots.

Expected Behavior

Notifications should be completely cleared by reboots at minimum. Other means to designate notifications as outdated should be considered. One such case comes to mind - if the same process in the same terminal tab sends the same notification over and over, maybe keep the last one and not each and every one of them? I have like 5 or 10 notifications telling me I closed jupyter-lab at the end of every work day.

It makes the whole indicator kind of useless, if I have to sift through weeks-old notifications to see what happened...
