This is still happening in KDE 4.7 although it is now only 1 or 2 alert dialogs
with the title:

"akonadi_google_resource"

Text:
"Invalid password or network proxy."

Akonadi icon is in the system tray at this time.


Steps to reproduce:
* set up Google data resource (calendar, contacts)
* confirm the user/password is correct (browse contacts, look at calendar etc)
* Then either do:

1 - Network Manager resets connection
* click on network manager in system tray
* click current connection to reconnect
* wait for reconnect
* dialog will appear on screen from Akonadi. Note it may be in a different
Activity.
OR
2 - Suspend
* Suspend your laptop
* Resume
* Dialog will appear when the desktop comes back up


Reproducible:
* Always. Only happens when network is down, so Akonadi is working fine.

Solutions:
* Don't show the dialog at all if there is no network connection. I know my
connection is down because my laptop is resuming or I manually reconnected with
Network Manager. In this case the alert is superfluous noise. A user can dig
around a bit more and visit google.com in their browser if they are unsure
about connection, or look at the connection icon from NM.
* Push the alert to the notification thing in the systray if that's not
possible
* If that's not possible, have a "never show again" checkbox in the alert box

Other than this little annoyance 4.7 is working great.

Thanks!

James
