Eliminate Frisbee messages
Frisbee can be useful with unstable Internet connections, as it will periodically try to reconnect. However, by default it generates a message every time it does it, which can become annoying.To disable those messages (Frisbee will keep on working in the background):
delete the file /etc/frisbee/.notify_mode (tested in Slacko 55).
