Hi,

not sure how relevant this is, given that GNOME 2 will be gone soon, but
I suspect it affects other non-GNOME-3-DEs as well.

Because notification-daemon is now started by a session startup script,
and not via dbus activation, it is not running early enough to display
for example gnome-power-manager’s warning about a degraded battery,
which means that g-p-m falls back to an ugly dialog box that needs to be
dismissed.

Ideally, a way is found for dbus-activation to work smartly, e.g. only
when the gnome shell is not loaded. Or maybe the start can be made
earlier somehow.

Greetings,
Joachim
