Hi,

Basically you need the notify process to have your uid and have the 
right DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS. If you do both of those (not that they 
are necessarily easy) then it should work.

If it doesn't work, then recent versions of "man dbus-daemon" (use the 
website version if your local one is older) have some docs on how to get 
verbose debug output.
