Without xfce4-notifyd running, busctl --user | grep Notifications should list org.freedesktop.Notifications as (activatable). Does it? If so, I am unsure why xfce4 is not activating it on startup. Do you have something in Settings -> Notifications preventing it? The other thing I wonder is if it is not running at startup because no notifications have been sent? I think the DBus service will only be activated as required. So without xfce4-notifyd running, if I send a notification (notify-send 'Test message'), xfce4-notifyd is activated and the notification appears. Does it behave like that for you? Mark
