It is related. I made several tests.

I (re)moved the file:

sudo mkdir -p /root/usr/share/dbus-1/services/ ; sudo mv /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.knopwob.dunst.service /root/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.knopwob.dunst.service

Now I can run dunst to get Evolution notifications and I can ^C or
killall dunst to get rid of Evolution notifications and Evolution then
still does run without issues.
