Package: plasma-widgets-workspace

This package provides notification-daemon. So does xfce4-notifyd. The
problem is that this package does not work in xfce4. So there is no way
to get any on-screen notifications in xfce4 if you also have kde
installed.
I don't get it. You *want* plasma-widgets-workspace under Xfce (I don't
really think it would work, but maybe) or you just want notifications?
I want to install both kde and xfce on my system and have notifications
working in both. With the latest updates to kde in sid, updating kde
forces me to uninstall xfce4-notifyd. And since
plasma-widgets-workspace does not work under xfce, I get no
notifications in xfce.
This did not happen with earlier versions of kde in sid. It started
with the update to kde 4.6.4. Prior to that I had both DE's installed
with no problems. So on the surface this would appear to be a kde
problem, which is why I originally filed the bug there.
I did try to re-install xfce4-notifyd after updating kde. But apt wants
to un-install important parts of kde, such as plasma-desktop, so that's
not a solution. It is not surprising though since
plasma-widgets-workspace is a dependency of plasma-desktop.
plasma-widgets-workspace provides the interfaces as specified by the so-called
'galago-spec', so I don't see anything wrong with having plasma-widgets-
workspace provide it.
On the other hand, having xfce4-notifyd conflict with it is something else ...
Afair there's an issue with having multiple notification daemons
installed at once since they ship the same dbus service file. It might
have changed though, I'll try to look at this
Apparently there is an issue now, anyway. Thanks for looking into it.
Hope this clarifies what I am seeing.
