This is perhaps a result of not having something like this that starts with the x session:
--- Code: ---$ cat ~/.X.d/dbus
dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session
--- End code ---
Arslan S.:
there is also notification-daemon-xfce you can use
download it and change dep list to
--- Code: ---lib.y.tcz
libxfcegui4.tcz
libnotify.tcz
shared-mime-info.tcz
hicolor-icon-theme.tcz
--- End code ---
also load gnome-icon-theme or any other icon theme
then execute (this is not really needed, just needed for some icons to be visible)
--- Code: ---sudo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor
--- End code ---
now it should work, tested from base, no need to start dbus daemon
--- Code: ---notify-send "test" "abc" -i applications-multimedia
--- End code ---

This does stop the error message.
ps -A contains

3928 tc /usr/local/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7
--- End code ---
notify-send -u low "Now playing" "New Song" -t 5000 -i applications-multimedia returns: no error message but also does not display a notification.
/usr/local/bin/notification-properties returns:
--- Code: ---Segmentation fault
--- End code ---
aoss gnome-mplayer returns: no error message and works OK.

notification-daemon-xfce added to OnBoot, dependency list changed as recommended. Reboot.
ps -A contains no reference to dbus or notification-daemon-xfce
notify-send "test" "abc" -i applications-multimedia works OK as it produces the required OSD.
ps -A contains:
--- Code: ---4593 tc dbus-launch --autolaunch 95e5f6024d0358e401df0b7d00000029 --bina
4594 tc /usr/local/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address
4596 tc /usr/local/libexec/notification-daemon-xfce
--- End code ---
notify-send -u low "Now playing" "New Song" -t 5000 -i applications-multimedia
aoss gnome-mplayer returns no errors and works OK but does not produce an OSD notification at change of track.
My interpretation of the above is that there are two independent issues.
* Using notification-daemon. The daemon only partially loads (segmentation fault?), leading to the failure to display any OSD notifications.
* Using notification-daemon-xfce. The daemon successfully loads, the OSD notification work OK, but is not triggered by the change of track.
Arslan S.:
notification-daemon works ok under gnome-desktop session, or even xfce session, i have no idea about segmentation fault
if you compiled gnome-mplayer from source, make sure you have libnotify enabled

I wonder if this is a dependency issue. In an earlier post you suggested that I download notification-daemon-xfce and amend the .dep file. This produced a working OSD. I was already loading everything mentioned in your amended .dep except libxfcegui4.tcz and its dependencies. Perhaps this indicates an expectation of file/files not presently installed by notification-daemon.tcz.

I compile and build extensions so infrequently that I have no idea how to do this. A pointer would be appreciated. Is it simply a case of having notification-daemon loaded (providing libnotify as a dep) or does it require changes to the compile commands. My skill set here is limited to the information in the wiki.
