notifications.org (2301B)

      1 * Fixing dual Plasma/Xfce installations
      2 Plasma and Xfce both define the ~org.freedesktop.Notifications~ D-BUS
      3 service.  That leads to all kinds of fun ([[https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=381693][KDE bug]]; [[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484945][Red Hat bug]]); on my
      4 machine, it causes Plasma sessions to use xfce4-notifyd instead of
      5 Plasma's own notification mechanism.
      6 
      7 [[https://kevinlocke.name/bits/2020/04/12/resolving-desktop-notifications-dbus-service-conflicts/][Kevin Locke]] explains how to solve the issue by defining a third
      8 ~org.freedesktop.Notifications~ service in a higher-priority user
      9 directory, which runs a command that will determine the current
     10 desktop environment and start the appropriate notification daemon.  In
     11 ~~/.local/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service~:
     12 
     13 #+begin_src conf-desktop
     14 [D-BUS Service]
     15 Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications
     16 Exec=/bin/sh -c "~/.local/lib/meta-notify"
     17 #+end_src
     18 
     19 This gentleman suggests relying on the ~XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP~ variable
     20 to find out which DE is running; unfortunately, for some reason if I
     21 log into Plasma first, then into Xfce, this variable (as well as
     22 ~XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP~ and ~DESKTOP_SESSION~) keeps saying "KDE" when
     23 the script runs.
     24 
     25 (I think this might be caused by Xfce's [[https://gitlab.xfce.org/atomsymbol/xfce4-session/-/blob/xfce4-session-4.14.2/scripts/xinitrc.in.in#L19][xinitrc]] not setting these
     26 variables if they are not empty, but they *are* set when I look at
     27 them in a shell once logged in, so… 🤷)
     28 
     29 Thus my version of ~~/.local/lib/meta-notify~ falls back on the window
     30 managers:
     31 
     32 #+begin_src sh
     33 #!/bin/sh
     34 
     35 wm=$(wmctrl -m | grep '^Name:' | cut -f2- -d' ')
     36 
     37 case ${wm} in
     38     KWin)
     39         exec /usr/bin/plasma_waitforname org.freedesktop.Notifications
     40         ;;
     41     Xfwm4)
     42         exec dbus-send --session                                            \
     43                        --dest=org.freedesktop.systemd1                      \
     44                        /org/freedesktop/DBus                                \
     45                        org.freedesktop.systemd1.Activator.ActivationRequest \
     46                        string:xfce4-notifyd.service
     47         ;;
     48     *)
     49         /usr/bin/logger -t $(basename "$0") Unknown window manager \"${wm}\"
     50         exit 1
