Bug#747465: [notification-daemon] notification-daemon crashes and missing dbus configuration

[Maximilian Gerhard]

Package: notification-daemon
Version: 0.7.6-1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

When I start notification-daemon in an LXDE environment and try to send a notification via notifiy-send, the expected notification popup appears but notification-daemon crashes now with the following message in terminal:

(notification-daemon:2280): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 17 was not found when attempting to remove it

Another execution of notify-send does nothing anymore.

I found out that notifications work correct if I provide the following file /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.Notifications.service with content:

[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications
Exec=/usr/lib/notification-daemon/notification-daemon

In Squeeze notification-daemon package this file was present and removed in Wheezy. Specific notification-daemon packages for a certain desktop, e.g. Mate in Jessie provide the file /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.mate.Notifications.service.
