I hope and pray this is not just "keep this surface on top" but instead 
an indication that the compositor should actually move it to some 
"notification area".

You do not need "window classes" to keep windows on top. Please don't do 
this as it is detrimental to getting proper floating window support by 
encouraging some idiot to implement "click always raises the window".
