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!".
