Just something I noticed trying to find the cause of the issue: some 
applications appear to send the icon of the notification in binary form to the 
dbus channel, for example emesene. The array containing the icon-data can often 
contain about 10'000 entries, it could be that applications listening to the 
dbus-channel hang because they take a while to interpret all the data or 
deadlock in some way?
I cannot reproduce the issue manually sending notifications through 
notify-send, but on the other hand in this way the icon data does not appear to 
get sent via dbus. Attached is an example from dbus-monitor, which shows all 
messages sent on dbus by a simple <user sent a message> notification from 
emesene.
