I can't reproduce this bug. I'm using GNOME on a up-to-date Debian sid system
(i386) and gdm as login manager.
I tried:
1/ Running notification-daemon in a GNOME 2 session → works fine
2/ Running notification-daemon in a Xfce session → works fine
3/ Running notification-daemon in a Openbox session → works fine
4/ Running notification-daemon in a awesome session → notification-daemon exits
cleanly, as the org.freedesktop.Notifications D-Bus name is already taken by
awesome [1] itself, i.e. it provides its own, notification implementation
integrated into awesome.

So, I'm having a hard time to reproduce this particular issue, and I'm inclined
to downgrade it to important. That said, could you describe your setup in more
detail. Which version, how you start your X session, custom modification etc.
I'm especially curious, why you actually can start notification-daemon under
awesome, as the D-Bus name is already taken in my case (note: all I did was an
apt-get install awesome).

Please elaborate.

Michael
