Thanks, I changed the setting for drawing over other apps.

But the problem, as explained in my original email, is that although the call
doesn't ring, the alert for the missed call *does* beep in Do Not Disturb.

That's because Linphone is setting its notifications as calendar notifications.
This forces me to block calendar notifications, which I don't want to do.

Having calendar notifications on in DND makes sense because I don't want to
miss an appointment.  But a robocall received through Linphone isn't a calendar
event.

Linphone sometimes beeps, because of a missed spam robocall, in the middle of
the night, because the number receiving the call is from a country whose 
timezone is half a world away.

When I send my original email below a month ago, a couple of developers replied
to this list and fixed the bug.  But the version I get from F-Droid is still
the broken one, and that's why I'm bumping this.
