Missing my notifications

It took quite some time until I realized that I don't get notifications anymore on any of my Arch-based installations, but when aarchup didn't chime up even after days, I've finally noticed that there must be something wrong.

The culprit is the new autostart file coming with xfce4-notifyd 0.6.2:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Xfce Notification Daemon
Exec=/usr/lib/xfce4/notifyd/xfce4-notifyd
Icon=org.xfce.notification
OnlyShowIn=XFCE;

Only show in XFCE? As OpenBox user, I feel seriously excluded and discriminated. Well, actually, we can just delete this line in a user context and thus continue as before:

cp /etc/xdg/autostart/xfce4-notifyd.desktop /home/cobra/.config/autostart/
vim /home/cobra/.config/autostart/xfce4-notifyd.desktop
G dd ZZ
