Package: notification-daemon
Version: 3.18.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I use the openbox window manager.  In jessie, notifications from
applications using libnotify would display, but I recently updated to
stretch and discovered the notifications were no longer displaying.

After some poking around, I found it was because there is a
"OnlyShowIn=GNOME-Flashback" line in
/etc/xdg/autostart/notification-daemon-autostart.desktop, which causes
openbox not to start the daemon.

It seems like the notifications would be useful for all desktop
environments.  Would it be unreasonable to remove the "OnlyShowIn"
line from the autostart file, or would this cause problems in some
desktops?

Thank you,

-Kevin
