I understand now why this doesn't happen in my case. Out of scope here.

Yes, I know the plugin modifies things in this domain. But it can only do that 
when it's actually installed and loaded and as already mentioned several times 
that doesn't matter here. I haven't yet had the time to look at what 
KNotification does. I doubt that it can see from a getenv check if a SNI host is 
present on the DBus. It may have to check the actual platform name in order to 
be really thorough (via QCoreApplication or KWindowSystem; last time I asked, 
Qt's official standpoint was "we support all QPA plugins that build on a given 
platform).

It could help me to know what env. variable KNotification looks for?
If you refer to KDE_FULL_SESSION or KDE_SESSION_VERSION, those aren't set in 
this particular case, and QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=cocoa .
