[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#880594: virtualbox-guest-x11: 98vboxadd-xclient calls notify-send before Plasma is started, causing SDDM to hang

[Rohan Garg]

Package: virtualbox-guest-x11
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
Due to a recent change in Plasma, a call to notify-send is blocked till such time
Plasma has started. 98vboxadd-xclient calls notify-send before Plasma is started,
blocking SDDM and delaying the start of Plasma.

See https://phabricator.kde.org/D5012 for a discussion about the change.

Perhaps a good idea would be to either fork that call.
