[libvirt-users] duplicated notifications for suspend and resume

Ok. I did not know about that. That would be an explanation.

No, I can handle the duplicate notifs in the application. I was just surprise to see the same event twice and wondering whether I used the API correctly or if this could possibly be a bug in libvirt.

We cannot guarantee that some events will not fire multiple times as is some cases there is no way to check whether it is duplicate or not when libvirt gets the information.  I have a hunch that the fact that events can happen multiple times is written somewhere in the docs.

Is there any problem you are trying to solve here?
