Research direction

Start by reproducing an import in TiddlyDesktop under the i3 window manager, then compare the behavior with XFCE as described. Investigate where the desktop application handles imports and window-manager interaction; done means imports complete without freezing or requiring the processes to be killed under i3.

Description

I LOVE TD!
I recently started using the I3 tiling desktop manager. If I try to import anything into my TW that is running in TD it freezes, usually so bad I have to launch a process manager to kill the process(es) associated with TD.

If I switch back to XFCE etc, it works as expected.
