oh yeah.. incomplete feature... e17 supports desktop areas (NxM now) and
multiple desktops (no geometric relation to eachother)... but curretly. theres
no way fo movign aroudn a desktop to its areas.. just between desktops..
(multiple).. anyway.. thats a feature in progress - i havent handled the case of
"move a widnwo and end move.. and put window on current desktop" yet :)
