Whitelist notification windows (e.g. growl) #14

Right now, they get tiled like the rest of the windows. I should whitelist them and treat them like floating transients, even if they are top level windows...

FWIW, libnotify dialogs (similar to growl afaik) render just fine. i've actually hooked nwm into notify-send so when i switch workspaces/focus it tells me what the main window's name is.

Yeah, turns out this works fine with libnotify with notification-daemon (the default for Gnome-based stuff). xfce4-notifyd was doing something differently on my old Arch machine, but seems it got updated as well and works now. So I'm closing this issue.
