  8. xfce4-notifyd: Add version 0.4.2 

    [Description][1]:

> Xfce4-notifyd is a notification service for the Xfce Desktop that
> implements most of the “server-side” portion of the Freedesktop
> desktop notifications specification. Applications that wish to pop up
> a notification bubble in a standard way can implicitly make use of
> xfce4-notifyd to do so by sending standard messages over D-Bus using
> the `org.freedesktop.Notifications` interface.

Create the bee file with the command below.

    $ bee init https://archive.xfce.org/src/apps/xfce4-notifyd/0.4/xfce4-notifyd-0.4.2.tar.bz2
    creating xfce4-notifyd-0.4.2-0.bee from template '/etc/default/bee/templates/fallback'

This is going to replace GNOME’s notification daemon, as with that
version, notifications are not properly scaled on 4K displays.

Fixes: #878

  10. notification-daemon: Remove version 0.7.1 

    The notifications are not properly scaled in Xfce with a 4K display [1].
This is probably fixed in newer version, but as we use Xfce, use their
notification daemon instead of the one from GNOME.
