Bug Description

There is little reason to actually show any notification right at startup. In previous releases we fixed a bunch of programs to avoid starting notify-osd at boot. Now indicator-sound and nautilus are triggering it. Let's avoid it to improve boot speed again.

    lazily. (LP: #912150)

On my Thinkpad precise now starts without any notify-osd, but on my slow Dell Mini 10 notify-osd is still launched by nm-applet. Using the same wifi, but different drivers. Needs investigation.
