Hi folks, I have a snippet that clocks me in, if I set the TOOD-keyword of an item to started. So some time after working on that item on and off, I got a stack trace and it would not change the keyword to started. The error was, that emacs was not compiled with dbus support and I thought, hell yeah, I'm on MS Windows, I don't have dbus here. So I looked at the stack trace and found org-clock-notify-once-if-expired which wants to show a notification if I took longer than I estimated. Than digging deeper I found org-show-notification which is where the actual error happens. It checks if the function notifications-notify exists and then tries to use it. On my system the function is available, but does not work because I don't have dbus support.
In my opinion these two actionable items should be done: * The function org-show-notification should be more robust. It should not fail if it can't fire a notification for whatever reason. * On MS Windows the function w32-notification-notify should be used. Maybe someone has a quick fix, if not I can try my non existant elisp foo and hack together a patch tomorrow, but please be gentle with me. Thanks for your time and great effort into org-mode! Tim
