Everyone's seen the "sticky" newtalk notification problem -- that ugly
orange box hangs around for longer than it's meant to and can be hard to
get rid of. I fixed one cause of this: the client cache. We've always
had a system to invalidate the client cache when the newtalk status
changes, but it was broken shortly before 1.4 was branched and nobody
noticed. I'm pretty sure it's now fixed.
The changes were inapplicable to HEAD, since newtalk handling has
changed completely. It will need to be tested separately.
