notification-daemon stops working

[mstolar]

Hi All,

I've installed Fedora 7 on my laptop and have some troubles with notification-daemon:
it stops displaying notifications. :(
It works for some time after login, and than stops.

Command:


notify-send -u low "Testing" "Just testing notification-daemon"

does nothing and is not returning any error, dbus-monitor shows:


signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=(null destination) path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameOwnerChanged
string ":1.33"

If I kill notification daemon, and send notification again dbus starts it, but still messages are not shown.

I can't find any error log (/var/log/messages and xsession-errors shows nothing),
I don't know how to debug this. :(

BTW: I am using Beryl, and I'm starting gnome session like this:


#!/bin/bash

beryl &
emerald &
beryl-manager --no-force-window-manager --no-force-decorator &

exec gnome-session --purge-delay=2000


but I don't thing this affects notification-daemon (purge-delay sets how long gnome-session should wait for programs to register, if I change it to default - 30000 - notification-daemon still stops working).

Thanks for ANY help ;)

Packages I use:
notification-daemon-0.3.7-2.fc7
notify-python-0.1.0-4.fc7
libnotify-0.4.4-2.fc7

dbus-glib-0.73-2.fc7
dbus-python-0.81.1-1.fc7
dbus-x11-1.0.2-6.fc7
dbus-devel-1.0.2-6.fc7
dbus-glib-devel-0.73-2.fc7
dbus-1.0.2-6.fc7


Cheers,

Mike

Another observation:
when I don't use Beryl, but Metacity notification-daemon works all the time!

Also, when notifications stop showing, restarting beryl helps for few seconds...

I still don't know how to solve this, but I installed compiz (fusion) and now notification daemon works
like a charm.

BTW: I am starting compiz with similar script...
