Any ideas, on how to use such applications in i3? Can i3 be set up
in a way to handle these problems, or would it need the
applications to be changed?
The best solution, in my opinion, is to let i3 float these windows.

This is done with for_window[0].

As an example, my i3 defaults the message composing window of
Thunderbird to floating mode with:

for_window [class="^Thunderbird$" instance="^Msgcompose$"] floating enable
