Research direction

Locate the cinnamon-timer@jake1164 applet and reproduce the issue using the reported Cinnamon 6.6.9 and Mint 22.3 setup, or by triggering the timer's end notification. Start at the code path that handles the "Time's Up" popup and inspect how the notification event is handled. Done means the popup appears without the reported failed-to-open-child-process error.
