I am using wheezy and gnome 3. I just did a little research on google that I think this is somewhat related to dbus? (althought I don't know what it does. but the output there has a line contains dbus_create_service_instance? )
This is the related bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=640120 However at the end it said it is fixed in version 0.9.32. But I have the version: notify-osd: Installed: 0.9.34-2 Candidate: 0.9.34-2 Do I need to modify the file in here? /etc/xdg/autostart/notify-osd.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=Notify OSD Comment=Display notifications Exec=/usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osd Terminal=false Type=Application OnlyShowIn=LXDE;OPENBOX;GNOME;XFCE; X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false Sorry for didn't provide much information.
