Hi Thomas,

Thomas Adam <thomas@xxxxxxxxxx> writes:

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.
Or, xfce-notifyd could just do it like all the other notification
daemons and set the override_redirect property to 1, meaning the window
is unmanaged.

I really don’t get why xfce-notifyd is the only misbehaving program
here, all the others just work.
