I couldn't reproduce this problem neither with

Org-mode version 7.4 (release_7.4.509.g99aa5)

on

GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.0)
 of 2010-12-11 on raven, modified by Debian

nor on

GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7600)
 of 2010-05-08 on G41R2F1

I had set `org-clock-idle-time' to 1, left the computer for a while
and when I came back there was just one clock resolving prompt
waiting.

Did you check if this problem occurs on emacs -q and just loading Org
mode w/o any configuration?

My preliminary conclusion on this issue: Org uses a timer object to
trigger the prompt -- if you are prompted multiple times this
would/could indicate that there are multiple timers for idle clock
resolving.

Can you verifiy this by checking the value of `timer-list' (C-h v
timer-list RET)?

Best,
