This most likely means that Azureus mapped the windows itself, rather than
asking for the window manager to map them. This means that Azureus wants
the popups to be undecorated and that it wants to manage their keyboard
focus and positioning itself. There will most likely be no difference in
tip, but you might check the behavior with another window manager. As for
waiting to report this, you've already reported it so I don't understand
the question.
No, we receive a MapRequest for those windows, but the Azureus
developer set the override_redirect flag of such windows to true
(which should only be done for windows which should not be
managed by a WM like splash screens, fullscreen windows and such
stuff)...
I was pupously unclear about how the windows were mapped (I doubt that many
people on this list care to understand the override_redirect flag). If the
override_redirect flag is set, though, the windows should be mapped by the X
server and we recieve MapNotify, rather than MapRequest.
