SUMMARY

When you enable "Send notifications" on two connected and paired linux machines you end up with a notification loop that in no time makes plasmashell unresponsive

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Pair 2 linux machines
2. Enable  "Send notifications" on both machines towards each other
3. Generate or wait for a notification

OBSERVED RESULT

Observe a notification loop and after a little while plasmashell will become unresponsive

EXPECTED RESULT

Notifications received from one machine are not re-send to the same machine
