1) Any idea what's responsible?
2) From what I can see the issue isn't just startup. If you see my previous email, it looks like the notifyd is crashing for some reason.
Maybe, xfce4-notifyd crashes on startup due to not set DISPLAY environment variable?
Please, check for DISPLAY using: dbus-update-activation-environment --verbose --all
If not, make sure /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-systemd-user.sh gets sourced on startup of Xorg in some way.
I've come to the conclusion that xfce4-notifyd isn't crashing on startup, but rather it's intentionally shutting down on inactivity. (See https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12754) And the problem isn't that it's shutting down, but rather that it's not able to successfully restart itself. The DISPLAY variable does seem to be getting set correctly in my console sessions: $ dbus-update-activation-environment --verbose --all 2>&1 | grep DISPLAY dbus-update-activation-environment: setting DISPLAY=:0.0 But perhaps it's not getting set for non-interactive/non-login sessions somehow. I'll look into that. Thanks, DR
