[Bug] Notifications fail to show with notify-send

[jbeich]

Describe the bug
Regressed by #304 (6dafd54, functions.vala). Affects notify-send (from libnotify) but not noti. Creating notifications via notify-send doesn't work unless swaync is launched with -c /null .

To Reproduce

1. Install swaync into a pristine container / jail
2. Run swaync &
3. Run notify-send "summary" "body"

Expected behavior

1. Do something... shown on terminal
2. A window pops up with titled summary with text body

Please provide logs if you're experiencing notification errors / bugs

So you're saying that the changes to the execute_command in that PR is what's causing notifications not to show? Or am I misunderstanding the issue?

Could you provide a video?

I'm not experiencing this at all on my two machines so it's pretty difficult to debug without more information

Unable to reproduce here on master (simply launch via sway config exec swaync)
