Hi,
Is there any way to enable notifyd support? Right now on Xfce I'm getting
the notification service xfce4-notifyd as an window and I have to close it
myself. I guess this can be avoided if there was a way to hack into
i3-nagbar to listen for notifyd and show information type messages
This is because i3 has no understanding of the
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NOTIFICATION EWMH hint. i3 would need to check
this hint and set the window as being unmanaged. Unfortunately, from
what I've seen of i3's code, patching this is slightly involved
because the checks on the container happen after it is mapped, and
more restructuring to support this is needed.
