Useful data point - thanks. I am using a login manager (lightdm), which launches startxfce4. Perhaps there's something got messed up with that combination.
Try sddm.
Perhaps. To be honest, I don't think lightdm is responsible for the issue either. (It hasn't been updated since March.) There's obviously *something* that changed recently that's causing this behavior. I'm not sure what - or how to fix. But there's some evidence this might get fixed on the XFCE side soon.
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': Jun 23 16:55:27 darosedm dbus-daemon[723]: Activating service name='org.freedesktop.Notifications' Jun 23 16:56:27 darosedm plasma_waitforname[1988]: org.kde.knotifications: WaitForName: Service was not registered within timeout Jun 23 16:56:27 darosedm dbus-daemon[723]: Activated service 'org.freedesktop.Notifications' failed: Process org.freedesktop.Notifications exited with status 1 DR
