A friend of mine uses don't-know-which distro without dbus.
Everything is easy when you're a lisp-nut and you do the majority of
your computing from inside Emacs.

Libnotify depends on GLib, which under its GIO sub-module has functions
and data objects for telling things to a DBus... bus.
Yeah, GLib reimplements what it should do under libdbus. And C99.
Yeah, something may complain whenever you try to run dunst and
notify-send and dbus isn't up, but the dependency graph of libnotify
not depending on dbus or libdbus is technically correct.
