Yes, you're correct:

$ grep org.freedesktop.Notifications -r /usr/share/dbus-1/services
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.plasma.Notifications.service:Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.plasma.Notifications.service:Exec=/usr/bin/plasma_waitforname 
org.freedesktop.Notifications
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.xfce4-notifyd.Notifications.service:Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications

Any idea how to resolve the conflict between these 2 notification 
services?  (Without being forced to remove half of KDE?)

For example, dbus seems to be selecting the kde plasma notification 
service to respond to the org.freedesktop.Notifications service 
messages, rather than the XFCE one.  Would you know if there's a way to 
disable the plasma service, or tell dbus that the xfce one should have a 
higher priority?
