Whenever I am looking at Discord in specific on Linux Mint 21.3, and then look in my logs, srt-logger is giving me 7+ messages of the following: "WARNING: discarding _NET_WM_PID 5 as invalid for X11 window - use specialized XCB_X11_TO_PID function!". Does anyone know why this is happening? It happens when I open discord and then every 5 to 10 seconds. Nothing seems to be malfunctioning, but it's just an annoyance.

it is written to the provided file and to my syslog file. It only happens when I look at discord and have steam on at the same time. Is there any way to disable this? or silence this? It's causing my logs to become a mess.

I uninstalled the discord flatpak and installed the .deb version, restarted my pc, and all srt-logger messages are no longer being forwarded to my syslog, very weird. The fault was probably in the interaction between my steam and discord. Consider it now fully resolved. My deepest apologies for the double post.
