Description Matthias Clasen 2011-02-15 14:20:21 UTC 
when we let bus activation start notification-daemon, there is a race condition where a notification early in the session may start notification-daemon before gnome-shell can take the name. 

I think we should

a) not let notification-daemon be bus activated

b) make it a required component of the fallback session

c) for that, we need to have a desktop file for it

Jon points out that the required component might be problematic because the
notification daemon currently exits after 30 seconds and relies on being
activated for each notification.
