Bug#640082: [Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#640082: Bug#640082: Please start xfce4-notifyd via the session manager

[Steven De Herdt <steven.deherdt@gmail.com>]

Hello

I'm using testing, normally with KDE.  After a recent update broke my 
usual environment I installed XFCE as a backup.  Now that Plasma is 
fixed I see that notifications there are still provided by this XFCE 
service.

Reading the forwarded bug, I see where the current situation with both 
autostart and dbus activation comes from.  But this bug has recently 
celebrated its tenth anniversary. :)  Do DBus or systemd perhaps provide 
more sophisticated ways of defining the appropriate notifications 
service now?

It's not a huge problem, more like a weird quirk.  I have now masked 
xfce4-notifyd.service, I hope that works.  (It was a bit annoying that 
'disabling' fails silently, but that's a different matter.)

Thanks for maintaining!
