Description

### Steps to reproduce

I am on Debian testing. These are the details of the app. -

```
$ apt-cache policy element-desktop
element-desktop:
Installed: 1.11.4-1
Candidate: 1.11.4-1
Version table:
*** 1.11.4-1 500
500 https://packages.element.io/debian default/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
```
Now whenever I start the app, after a while I get the below notice -

```
(element-desktop:617214): libnotify-WARNING **: 20:00:38.161: Failed to connect to proxy
[617214:0910/200103.186862:ERROR:libnotify_notification.cc(49)] notify_notification_show: domain=1237 code=24 message="Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.Notifications: Timeout was reached"

(element-desktop:617214): libnotify-WARNING **: 20:02:33.570: Failed to connect to proxy

(element-desktop:617214): libnotify-WARNING **: 20:02:58.594: Failed to connect to proxy

(element-desktop:617214): libnotify-WARNING **: 20:03:08.161: Failed to connect to proxy
[617214:0910/200333.186865:ERROR:libnotify_notification.cc(49)] notify_notification_show: domain=1237 code=24 message="Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.Notifications: Timeout was reached"
```

Have no clue as to why the timeouts are happening.
