Mako stops showing notification

I seem to be having the same issue that is described in this closed issue:

https://github.com/riverwm/river/issues/226

In short, mako displays notifications for a while, and then stops. `makoctl reload` revives it.

I am running mako on Gentoo using the latest build (version 1.6). I raised this issue on the Gentoo forums, and the people I spoke to there redirected me here as they did not feel it was a Gentoo issue.

I start mako with `exec sway` in sway's config. I use elogind - not systemd - and start sway with `dbus-run-session sway`. I'm not sure if this is even relevant, but dbus seems to work perfectly well on my system.

I also run mako on a Debian machine, using the same config, and starting mako in the same way. mako works flawlessly on this machine now, although I seem to recall it having the same issue described above at some point, and it eventually went away.

Does anyone know what might cause mako to stop showing notifications?

Start by reviewing closed issue #226 and reproducing the notification stall with mako 1.6 under Gentoo, using `exec sway` and `dbus-run-session sway` as described. Compare the working Debian setup and confirm that notifications continue without needing `makoctl reload`; the payload does not name a source file or test.
