FYI, I just tested under sddm and I still see the same issue. For whatever reason, xfce4-notifyd does not get started in response to attempts to launch service 'org.freedesktop.Notifications':

I finally see what happened. The file "/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.plasma.Notifications.service", provided by package plasma-workspace is new, and is conflicting with file org.xfce.xfce4-notifyd.Notifications.service. When I move it out of the way, xfce4-notifyd launches properly: Jun 26 12:19:31 darosedm dbus-daemon[640]: Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.Notifications' unit='xfce4-notifyd.service' Jun 26 12:19:31 darosedm systemd[614]: Starting XFCE notifications service...

Jun 26 12:20:12 darosedm dbus-daemon[640]: Reloaded configuration Now I just need to figure out how to resolve the conflict. DR
