Any idea how to resolve the conflict between these 2 notification

For example, dbus seems to be selecting the kde plasma notification
service to respond to the org.freedesktop.Notifications service
messages, rather than the XFCE one.  Would you know if there's a way to
disable the plasma service, or tell dbus that the xfce one should have a
higher priority?

        I'm not sure, but it looks like dbus is selecting the first one in
alphabetic order (here it chooses
org.freedesktop.mate.Notifications.service over
org.kde.plasma.Notifications.service). I don't know if there is a way to
specify a per-user override, but I would guess that symlinking
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.xfce4-notifyd.Notifications.service
to /usr/share/dbus-1/services/00.org.freedesktop.Notifications.service
(or some similar name that comes before kde) has a fair chance of
solving the issue for you...

Thanks much for the assistance.

I tried the symlink approach, but it didn't seem to work.

I opened up a bug at KDE about this, if anyone's interested. (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=381693) Perhaps they'll have some suggestions for workarounds (or a fix).

Thanks,

DR
