Bug Description
I installed `mako` in hope it would play nicely with `sway`, but it seems that it is not performing its function on install:
1. Attempting to start `mako-notifier` as a user gives error message `Failed to acquire service name`. Probably because it is meant to be activated by `dbus`.
2. Sending a notification request by `gdbus` results in starting of `plasma-
3. Attempting to call `makoctl list` hangs, shows nothing.
4. Programs that attempt to call default FreeDesktop notification service hang. For example: `notify-send`, `keybase`.
This is the script I use to invoke default FreeDesktop notification service
```
gdbus call --session \
--dest=
--object-
--method=
"" 0 "" 'Hello world!' 'This is an example notification.' \
'[]' '{"urgency": <1>}' 5000
```
These problems occur when using `sway` under `gdm`.
