Yeah.  I expect that too.  I am not sure why mako is so special.  mako
uses the sd-bus library of systemd/elogind instead of libdbus.  Do you
think that could be the cause?

I don't know much about D-Bus.  Maybe it's just because of mako's bad
program design.  I used dunst as my notification daemon and dunst did
just works.  dunst provides a D-Bus service file.  I don't even have to
manually start dunst.
