Bug description
Clicking "Don't show message again" in the Notification Popup does not work. For example, the notification when connecting or disconnecting from a WiFi network continues to pop up regardless of whether "Don't show this message again" has been pressed.
Steps to reproduce
- Connect to a network.
- Click "Don't show this message again" in the resulting notification.
- Disconnect from network.
- Reconnect to network and the notification will reappear.
Expected behavior
Notification should not appear for the specified action.

Research direction
Start by tracing Cinnamon's notification popup implementation and the handling of the "Don't show this message again" action. Reproduce the WiFi connect and disconnect steps, then inspect where that choice is stored and checked. Done means the selected notification no longer reappears after reconnecting.
