The question is, how can it "disappear"? That might be a defect in the
plug-in code, but we'll need more information to understand
when/why/how it ceases functioning.
Could you tell us what notification features are enabled (preferences >
plugins > notification)? Would be nice to identify the context when it
stops, too. Last resort if we can't reproduce will be to run claws-mail
from gdb or valgrind.

It's /usr, the log excerpts you included in your previous email talks
about /usr/lib64/claws-mail/plugins/notification.so.
But IMO we don't care about `ldd` anymore now that we know that the
plug-in loads w/o error.
