how to start Xfce4-notifyd Notification service

Hi,

I build Xfce4-notifyd Notification service successfully out of the sources, however the settings program tells me that the server isn't started.
How do I start the Xfce4-notifyd Notification service automatically? Any clue?

Would depend on the distro. If it's a systemd-based distro, the following should work:

systemctl --user enable xfce4-notifyd.service

...to enable it and:

systemctl --user start xfce4-notifyd.service

...to start it.

Otherwise, you can add the xfce4-notifyd executable to the Autostart list (Settings Manager > Session and Startup > Application Startup).

thanks a lot. It works perfect out-of-the-box.
