Long story short: What do you suggest I should tell the people who complain. They have asked what component they should file bugs against. Are you ok with notification-daemon and polkit-gnome?
Depends on what outcome you expect.
Hi Matthias,
my hope is to fix the problems for our users, this means less complains and bug reports.
You can certainly file bugs against notification-daemon, but I don't see the autostart file coming back.
This means we would have to file bugs against *all* window and session managers because ATM we are leaving a lot of people without any support for policykit or notifications, which is a pretty massive regression compared to F14.
I've reassigned https://bugzilla.redhat.com/754036 to glib2 (libgio).
Apparently, XFCE does not run notification-daemon and not xfce4-notifyd either, and that crashes apps in libgio. The crash is not reproducible with GNOME, and I guess in XFCE will affect (=crash) any app that uses libnotify.
With my enquiry on xfce list, I've tried to raise awareness of the issue, not to complain.
