Notifications are too low, cannot seem to figure out what is causing it
This "notification" from the screenshot looks very similar to the pop-up produced by this network widget https://github.com/pltanton/net_widgets. With a quick check in you rc file, I can confirm you indeed use a wifi widget, and the code is also very similar to what the readme says.

Network manager?
I'm looking for something to select wireless networks from the wibar. Had a look at Eyedeekay's awesome-network-manager, but the instructions look a bit outdated (from my very limited understanding). Tried to adapt them - no errors, but nothing shows up in the wibar. Also tried Planton's Network Widgets, but that seems to be suffering the same fate. I'm aware I can run Network Manager's applet, but I'm hoping for something a bit more aesthetically consistent.

How do you guys handle network/bluetooth?
Has anyone has made a widget that functions similarly to DE network interfaces? I found this widget, but afaik it only shows the network you're connected to. I haven't been able to find much of anything for bluetooth, so any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help.

Any plans on porting to wayland?
i'm reading this issue and this thread as i'm looking into migrate to wayland, since sooner or later we'll apparently have (i know this won't be very soon, but wayland is more and more mainstream). I know "any update on this?" is very annoying, and that's why i'm not open an issue, but... Any update on this?

selecting menu options without releasing right click
I guess, it's not supported at the moment or you'll have to do some hacks.. There is this issue (#3777) with the same problem.

A linux newbie has installed and configured Arch. Minimalist graphical capabilities?
I use the Awesome Window Manager. At it's core, it's a little difficult to figure out. But once you get the hang of assigning hot keys and whatnot, You'll be able to use it more fluently. I use it on all 3 of my machines (two desktops and one laptop). I Love it! I copy my configs from the machine I started it with and put them on the other 2 machines. Works great!
