[Solved] lxqt: notify-send works only once

I installed the lxqt desktop with cairo-dock. Libnotify and lxqt-notificationd are installed, the daemon is running.

Then I tried to send a desktop notification using the bash command "notify-send". This works as well - but only once. After entering "notify-send" a second time, no notification appears on the screen.

command:
notify-send -t 5000 " " "Test notification"

journalctl shows the following entry:
Jun 09 19:49:26 arch64-t.rethmeyers.de lxqt-notificationd[568]: Notification "notify-send" urgency QVariant(uchar, 1)
Jun 09 19:49:26 arch64-t.rethmeyers.de lxqt-notificationd[568]: QToolButton(0x2115700, name="closeButton")  does not have a property named  "icon-size"

Test notification from lxqt configuration panel show up, also more than once.

What is wrong here?

Re: [Solved] lxqt: notify-send works only once

It appears to be a Qt regression.  I had the same issue and joined the upstream discussion below.  The latest Qt update (5.6.1) should solve this, and it does at least on my machine (lxqt git master).

I can confirm that it works now on my system, too.
