A few other things to explore.

Do you think this is the same as Debian #899377
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=899377)

Are there any message in /var/log/daemon.log relating to failed DBus activation
start of xfce4-notifyd?

I also notice that you have plasma-workspace installed as does the reporter in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=899377#32. He also provides a
workaround.
