Investigate how to handle popups

[janschaible]

Questions:

• how are popups characterized within a X-Event ? (how can we recognize them)
• how do we ensure that the popups are always on top

Hi, I did some digging related to my Statusbar ticket. The required information for this ticket is available vie the XAtoms.

I included the very basics in my branch #85 for atom handling

Here are some maybe helpful links https://github.com/sminez/penrose/blob/develop/src/x/atom.rs Take a look especially at the last 15 lines!!!

https://github.com/sminez/penrose/blob/develop/src/x11rb/mod.rs Take a look at lines 404 -500

Dont know if this one is helpful for you: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-latest.html

Here is the documentation for what I believe to be the method to know whether a window is floating:

• get_property(...)

As we have talked about in short already, I would like to delegate this issue to someone else, as I am now taking care of testing. Are there any volunteers?
