yes, but not only because of the roundtrip, but because it's X11 specific. I don't know how that would work on Wayland - probably not at all.

Furthermore this does not consider the case that we have multiple screens and the notification would be shown on the other screen which is not covered by a fullscreen window.

So at the moment, I don't have an idea, but I think we need a solution which will work on Wayland and considers multiple screens.

This patch checks when a notification arrives whether the active window is fullscreen (concealing the notification) and adds it to the history. To indicate that you missed notifications while you were fullscreen, the icon glows blue (until you interact with a notification or open the plasmoid).
