I don't know. I just saw it done like this in another package in
xfce.scm.

Reading up on inputs I see propagated-inputs "will be installed
alongside the package they belong to". Yeah, let's see if we can avoid
that.

I've adjusted the recipe to test with glib:bin as a native-input,
it builds fine, and a quick remove and install shows no issues either.
However, the notification system still worked with it removed, so I'm
not certain the new one is the one used. I will test this further next
time I boot my system.

I'll make sure to add this if I produce a new patch.

Thanks for the feedback!

Best,
Petter
