Hi Ian,

Thanks for reporting.

I checked this some and I think the problem lies in function
org-show-notification.  That function references and possibly uses
function notifications-notify which depends on a proper setup of the
dbus stuff.  I guess this is the gist of the bug.

You can place your own handler though.  For this set variable 

    org-show-notification-handler

to e.g. function

   message

Can you please try this out?

About hunting the bug: possibly it would be good to add a check if the
dbus system is up.  Can this be done easily?  Or add a further
configuration item to indicate that the dbus system shall be used.


Best,
-- Marco
