Problems with Notifications

Hey,

I want to write a small python script which uses the xfce4-notifyd service. It sends a notification at the beginning and after some time (in my case 25 Minutes) a second one. Unfortunately I get the following error message when sending the second notification.

gi._glib.GError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name :1.118 was not provided by any .service files

To test this, I wrote a small test script.

from gi.repository import Notify
import time
import datetime

def send_notification(header, text):
    """
        sends a notification and return the object for later use (updates etc)
    """
    Notify.init("Hello world")
    n=Notify.Notification.new(header,text,"dialog-information")
    n.show()
    print datetime.datetime.now().isoformat(), header, text
    return n


send_notification("test", "first")
time.sleep(25*60)
send_notification("test", "second")

When changing the time.sleep call to time.sleep(10*60) the second message get displayed as expected. I read the Desktop Notifications Specification but did not find a timeout or something like that. My used xfce4-notifyd version is 0.2.4-2 and I use Ubuntu 14.04 as Operating System.

So is this a bug in xfce4-notifyd or did I do something wrong?
