While none of the client's windows has the focus, a poke or a private message shows a desktop notification, which the desktop's notification centre keeps. A private conversation keeps one notification, updated as messages come; clicking it brings the window forward with that chat open, and they all go once a window of the client is in front again. On Linux they go to the freedesktop.org notification service, spoken to over the session bus by a small D-Bus client of our own on Java's Unix sockets, so no library or native code is involved; Plasma also takes a reply typed into the notification. Elsewhere they are AWT tray messages, which Windows and macOS put in their notification centres. The options can turn them off. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
