[feature request] properties _NET_WM_DESKTOP _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS to be setted about berry HOT 4 CLOSED

Just added these to the development branch blackberry. Although I'm a bit confused by your description of this protocols. According to the ewmh documentation, _NET_WM_DESKTOP should report the current desktop of the given client and _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS should report the region occupied by the current client. Is this what you meant, or am I misunderstanding the requirements of this protocols?

My ability to express myself clearly in English is limited and I apologize for that (I often have to use an automatic translator :-[).

In order to be sure that I was making a correct request, I consulted the same document just yesterday. Regarding the two specific properties he recommends, among other things, that "The Window Manager should honor _NET_WM_DESKTOP..." and also "The Window Manager MUST set _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS..." so I thought it was appropriate to make the request.

About _NET_WM_DESKTOP which "determine the desktop the window is in" I confirm: it is exactly the data I need.

As the document says, _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS "are widths of the respective borders added by the Window Manager"; I'm interested in getting the status of the window about whether or not it's currently decorated otherwise my script can't know if it's the case or not to run a berryc toggle_decorations (...). Since there is no specific EWMH property about the current status of the decoration, _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS can become a way to deduce it.
Alternatively, for the complete supply of the status of a window, a proprietary solution as in Windowchef (a request that we've already discussed here) would be optimal.

The same command executed under Openbox:

$ xprop -id 0x1600007 _NET_WM_DESKTOP _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS
_NET_WM_DESKTOP(CARDINAL) = 3
_NET_FRAME_EXTENTS(CARDINAL) = 6, 6, 24, 6

Thank you very much for your prompt response and attention to these requests of mine!
I promise not to make any more immediate requests: I will enthusiastically follow the project according to your development plans :-)
