Comment (by user):

 1. debian-8 bridges with outbound firewall restrictions --> no riot.im
 crash
 2. reinstall and then update whonix workstation VM --> riot.im still
 crashes
 3. copy torbrowser from whonix VM to debian-9 VM, redo connection setup
 --> no riot.im crash

 Regarding desktop notifications, the choice doesn't matter.

 Regarding the difference between whonix torbrowser vs non-whonix, all I
 know is the whonix version connects to a tor instance that runs in a
 separate whonix gateway VM (which is why I had to redo the connection
 setup in (3)).
