I have found a longstanding Xfce bug report about notifications.

https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7928

If I understand correctly, currently notifications should not even be
displayed, if an application or game runs in fullscreen mode. Can you
reproduce the same issue with other SDL1.2 games or applications like
Iceweasel, Totem etc. which run in fullscreen mode?

Maybe related bug reports:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-notifyd/+bug/1092224

https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8751

The underlying issue might be more complex but I suppose it is Xfce
specific. You could also try to disable the Xfce compositor / composite
effects and see if this has any implications. There should be an option
under Settings -> window manager tweaks.

Ok, thanks. So you use the open-source kernel driver from Intel.

More workarounds: You could also add your games to a blacklist, so that
they are not affected by your screensaver application. Normally there is
some kind of option to ignore certain applications when they run in
fullscreen mode.

If you can reproduce the same issue with other applications or games in
fullscreen mode, we could clone this bug report and reassign to Xfce4.

I would also be glad about more information from someone else who is
affected by this bug.

Markus
