I've been successfully running Gnome3 for some time now and today went
into lxde.
All seems fine until I noticed that guake (the dropdown terminal)
would not work.
It works fine on the same system under Gnome3.
joost@xbox-360 ~ $ guake
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib64/guake/guake.py", line 1353, in <module>
if not main():
File "/usr/lib64/guake/guake.py", line 1296, in main
instance = Guake()
File "/usr/lib64/guake/guake.py", line 649, in __init__
notification.show()
glib.GError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:
The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any
.service files
This made me think that there might be a general problem with the
notification area on the desktop.
joost@xbox-360 ~ $ notify-send "hello"
joost@xbox-360 ~ $
And NOTHING happens...
joost@xbox-360 ~ $ equo search notification-daemon

I assume that there has been a problem earlier because notify-osd (the
other notify widget) has been removed.
So the question would be, does the current notification-daemon only
work with Gnome3?
Do other programs suffer from this too?
