Description of problem:
The mail-notification program seems to wake up more frequently than is necessary. strace reveals that it never sleeps for more than about 500 milliseconds, and looking through the source it seems to be to do with the mn-tooltips module.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mail-notification-4.1-4.1

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.ps xf
2.strace -p <pid>

-or-

1.powertop


I've seen this as well on my system. Waking up twice a second IMHO is not really bad (other apps are worse), but on the other hand: maybe it can be avoided, which reduces the power consumption, which would lead to longer batter life times on laptops.
