           Summary: gstglwindow doesn't respect FreeDesktop
                    startup-notification-spec
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer

Hello,

Currently both xvideosink and glvideosink use raw X11 window API to create
graphical window. This is used when gst-play invoked to play video file or
video stream.

At the same time, the following specification is not supported:

https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/startup-notification-spec/

That makes gst-play second-class citizen in modern window management world.
This feature is used by Gnome and some tiling window managers to distinguish
running clients. Most of GUI application rely on existing graphical frameworks
like GTK or QT where startup-notification-spec is implemented deeply under the
hood completely opaque for the user. This is not the case for glvideosink as
noted above.

This is feature request to implement statup-notification-spec support for
GStreamer X11 windows, that should gain user experience.
