I'm OK with a solution that is Qt5-only, IOW, we don't have to care about 
Qt4 with new features anymore (Qt4 will go away anyway).

At first I thought that I would be OK with calling this an X11-specific 
problem, but then there's also Wayland and this will very likely behave 
exactly the same in there. I don't care that much about Windows and OS X 
given that they don't have native VDs (or do they?).

Unconditionally linking with any KF5 piece is still a no-go, sure.

Sounds good.

They aren't important, so this one sounds good as well. If you can control 
these pop-ups, this sounds like an easier solution (but I don't think one 
can control them).

We don't even need the log, IMHO.

Since we cannot query the virtual desktop (w/o some X11 code or linking eg.
kwindowsystem in the Qt5 build), we'll have to make a choice here.

Either we turn this into a transient dialog that looks quite a bit like a
tooltip or we control tooltip display.

Transient dialog will show on the desktop the mainwindow is on and not be
displayed otherwise, but does not show on top of things (but on top of the
mainwindow, *maybe* on other trojita windows - perhaps that's even preferred?)

Tooltip control basically boils down to "only on active windows or mouse over"
what raises the question how important those (short term yet invasive tooltips)
are anyway while trojita is somehow in the background.

=> Maybe only display them while trojita is the active window and show a short
log (the last 5 events or such; with timestamp) as hover tooltips?

Any preferences on your side?

tooltips are unmanaged (override_redirect) and simply ignored by the VM.
you'll likely only see them w/ compositing because the mainwindow is then (by
default) not unmapped (technically it remains visible)

afaik, plain qt doesn't care about virtual desktops (qdesktopwidget property is
sth. different), so the best solution would be to omit qtooltip and use an
undecorated transient (dialog) instead.
