I've reassigned  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/754036  to glib2 (libgio).

Apparently, XFCE does not run notification-daemon and not xfce4-notifyd
either, and that crashes apps in libgio. The crash is not reproducible
with GNOME, and I guess in XFCE will affect (=crash) any app that uses
libnotify.

With my enquiry on xfce list, I've tried to raise awareness of the issue,
not to complain.
