For a while now I have missed notifications in the xfwm taskbar, especially for removable media. I guess this is likely related to the recent change of systemd prefix from /usr/lib to /lib as, after a re-emerge to check the current position, xfce4-notifyd.service is still installed in /usr/lib/systemd/user rather /lib/systemd/user xfce4-notifyd is at 0.3.6
systemd user units still go in /usr/lib/systemd/user. Only system units are moved.

It was only after re-compiling dbus that I got the same systemctl output. However, I am still not getting notifications. Can't think what the problem is - but clearly not to do with the systemd prefix move, sorry about that. There's a long thread at https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=11382 but without any clearcut solution.
I have similar problems. In my case it appears there is conflict of notifyd with Plasma. See the following KDE bug report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=381693
I want to add that workarounds mentioned in that KDE bug report helped to me.
