Notification in ubuntu i3wm not showing buttons

[luvarqpp]

Describe the bug When I issue test of webauthn, I see red notification, but there is no buttons. Nor click on notification does anything.

I see from logs that this problem lies in notifications. If I am right, i3wm is showing just notifications without possibility to ask questions (man notify-send link), I have found perhaps related issue referenced from source code #12 . #73 seems something that could be used to solve also notify-send problem. Adding it to map does not solve problem through (nor it is applied according logs). Perhaps server_info.version is not what I expect. See https://github.com/danstiner/rust-u2f/blob/dcd8d4d42f1167e0ea8df52cf0c534142c24e4f7/linux/user-daemon/src/user_presence.rs#L66

Logs If possible please attach output from the following commands (these logs will contain your user/ machine name but should not contain any secrets unless you built the program locally and enabled trace level logging).

Ehm, I was unavare of my own desktop abilities... i3wm is using dunst for notifications and when there is an action for notification, I need to use middle click on notification. This will show bar (with answer and possible actions) on upper part of screen and using keyboard I can choose answer.

Middle click on this: Will show possibilities:

I would like to show some hint in request for first few notifications or for registering requests (first things on demo pages). What do you think about this? Or perhaps just some note in readme/faq. I am willing to spend some time to make PR.

Glad you figured it out.

I'm not familiar with i3wm or dunst, but I am open to a PR to make this more clear, I think at least on other person had issues with i3 in the past.

Agree if you can figure out how to reliably detect dunst and show alternative text that would be best, but just adding a note to the readme is also a good option, whichever you prefer.

@luvarqpp Thank you very much, I meet the same issue using i3wm and your answer really help me to sort it out.
