That concern is true, but I think it's kind of consistent. E.g. it is used \
in tabbox to close a window. It's also possible to be used in present \
windows to close a window by middle click, but there it is configurable. I \
thought about exactly that issue and about adding a config option to it, \
but I think it is overkill. It is a hidden feature, you normally don't \
middle click a notification or an entry in the tabbox. So the chance to do \
harm - especially for notifications - is rather low. On the other hand what \
do you want to achieve if you click a notification? Probably saying "hey I \
read that, go away!".
