[xmonad] Question about desktop notifications

[Brandon Allbery]

Are you sure that's a standard notification? Some programs (notably
browsers, but I've seen a few other programs do their own as well) do
their own notifications especially if no notification service is
running.

If you want standard notifications back, dunst
(https://dunst-project.org/) is a common alternative to the ones
provided by full desktop managers.
