            Bug ID: 329530
           Summary: Akregator produces multiple and distracting/disturbing
                    certificate errors, including when it is only open in
                    tray.
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: akregator
           Version: 4.11.3
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

Sometimes Akregator produces multiple certificate errors. Whilst these may be
correct (I'm not actually sure - sometimes I get errors without any clear
reason why i should be getting an error), and whilst sometimes i seem to be
getting problems with certificates I've asked it to accept permanently (see bug
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100302), sometimes I get these errors from
logging in on an open network, e.g. in a library, where it produces a login
window in a browser .

The way it produces these errors can be quite inconvenient, as a) it produces
an error even though akregator is only running in the system tray and is not
actively open, and b) if there are multiple certificates error, it brings these
all up as individual error messages which the user has to click through to
continue with what they are doing.

My suggestion would be that errors are disabled while akregator is in the
system tray (they could be held for when akregator is opened), and also that if
multiple errors are found, these are all bundled together into one message, or
there could be an option to ignore/hide future certificate errors within the
session.

Thanks!

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have Akregator running
2.Have multiple feeds with new items that cause certificate errors (not sure
what these are)
3.
Actual Results:  
Multiple errors as described.

Expected Results:  
Errors should be less prominent, not multiple, and with the possibility to hide
them. Certainly errors should only appear when akregator itself is open (i.e.
not in system tray).
