libwnck and large desktops

[Kim Woelders <kim woelders dk>]

Hi there,

Currently libwnck (and therefore the gnome-panel pager and
window list) doesn't support large desktops, i.e. handling
of the _NET_DESKTOP_GEOMETRY and _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT hints.

Recently, Extended Window Manager Hint support (i.e. potential
GNOME2 compatibility) has been added to enlightenment, which
does support large desktops.

I really would like to see the GNOME desktop being able to
work with enlightenment, so please consider these patches,
which add support for large desktops to two libwnck versions:
http://www.woelders.dk/~kw/stuff/gnome/libwnck-0.18-large-desktop-kw2.patch
http://www.woelders.dk/~kw/stuff/gnome/libwnck-2.2.1-large-desktop-kw2.patch

The patches are not perfect, but I think they do a fairly
good job to begin with.
