Hi everyone, I have used KDE 4 and Awesome WM 3.4 for a while on Kubuntu now. Since the upgrade to Plasma 5, the next version of KDE, I have a small problem with notifications.
Since I use both KDE and Awesome WM, I am not sure where to ask. I just think that *you* know more about using both of them then the KDE people do. When the network manager changes the active connection, it notifies me saying something like “connection DHCP was activated”. Before the upgrade, this notification went away after a couple seconds. Now it stays there indefinitely and flickers the whole time. If I click on it to remove it, it will just appear right again. Another issue, which might be related is the following: The background image of Plasma (`wm_class` is `plasmashell`) is over the wibox of Awesome WM. I added a small rule snippet which minimizes this. That has worked with KDE 4, though. I think that Awesome WM and Plasma 5 argue about their respective z-index on the screen. This would explain the flickering of the notifications. I just do not get why I cannot remove the notifications by clicking on them and why they do not disappear on their own. My current workaround is to restart Awesome WM once there is a notification stuck, but that is really a solution for the long term. I just tested it with the same `.config/awesome` (although mine is for 3.4 and not 3.5) on the Fedora 22 Beta. The same flickering and z-index problem appears there as well, so this is not distribution specific.
