0.6.3 which seems to provide the notification service.
Hi,
the missing notification D-Bus service is not a problem. It’s not ideal
to be missing (you’d not see for example new mail notifications without
it), but it has nothing to do with the window placement.
The problem is that the window is only 1910 pixels width, placed
at -24955 pixels horizontally, aka quite far away to the left of the
screen. I do not know how that can happen, but you’ve most likely
something broken in your system, which causes this. I do not see why a
window manager would place the window out of the visible portion of the
desktop. Nor any other part of the system.
xfce4-notifyd-0.6.3 wont install because of the missing
org.freedesktop.Notifications service file.
Are you sure? The notify daemons can provide their own service files,
telling D-Bus they can handle that interface. Or they autostart the
daemon in the background and listen on the expected D-Bus interface for
the whole lifetime of the session, which seems to be the case for
the XFCE, as in Fedora [1] the package provides
/etc/xdg/autostart/xfce4-notifyd.desktop . GNOME Shell works similarly
as XFCE, it seems.
On the other hand MATE provides
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.mate.Notifications.service
which references MATE’s service to handle desktop notifications. This
is not interchangeable, aka you cannot use it for the XFCE.
KDE/Plasma has its file as well, I think.
Anyway, these things are off topic for the Evolution. You get more
accurate answers when you open a question directly with the XFCE folks.
Bye,
Milan
