Wasn't that fixed by renaming QCdbus_notify to QCnotify?

D-Bus, being a mechanism for desktop components to exchange information
and procedure calls, provides no desktop notifications by itself, and a
desktop notification server (normally supplied by an X desktop
environment) must run on the session bus for them to be available.

MS-Windows builds with D-Bus are typically incapable of contacting a
notification server, since none of the popular X desktop environments
run on MS-Windows.

So both features should be made available simultaneously.
