Package: xfce4-notifyd
Version: 0.3.3-1
Severity: normal

xfce4-notifyd does not work which also affects xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin 
(probably also others). The relevant system log is:

    xfce4-notifyd[3009]: Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection 
refused
    xfce4-notifyd[3009]: cannot open display: 
    systemd[1583]: xfce4-notifyd.service: Main process exited, code=exited, 
status=1/FAILURE
    systemd[1583]: Failed to start XFCE notifications service.
    systemd[1583]: xfce4-notifyd.service: Unit entered failed state.
    systemd[1583]: xfce4-notifyd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

If I run /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/notifyd/xfce4-notify or add the line 
Environment="DISPLAY=:0.0" to xfce4-notifyd.service, everything works as 
expected.
This is probably related to an update (though that is a rather old one) in 
dbus. Before that one the DISPLAY variable was passed to any service of type 
dbus, afterwards that was no longer the case. See:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/46374
