[Bug 1914770] [NEW] Notifications provided by xfce instead of plasma

[Alf HP Lund]

Public bug reported:

I installed Ubuntu Studio 20.04 which is using XFCE.

I want to run Ubuntu Studio on Kubuntu, so did 'sudo install kubuntu-
desktop'

After this, notifications in Plasma are marked "Notifications service
not available" and a message given "Notifications are currently provided
by Xfce Xfce Notify Daemon instead of Plasma".

I found https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14
/notifications-in-the-latest-kde5-plasma-ktown-packages-4175670133/ but
can not get the fix provided there by davjohn to let me reliably switch
between Xfce and Plasma and still have notifications work as I want in
both environments.
