[PATCH] Desktop window behavior under tiling window managers.

[Kevin Murphy <kemurphy andrew cmu edu>]

This is a simple fix that allows the desktop window to behave as
expected under some tiling window managers (only tested in i3, but
presumably also applies to awesome and others).  It doesn't seem to
cause problems when running with metacity or other traditional window
managers (tested with gnome-shell, and metacity and matwm2 under
gnome's fallback session).  Cheers.
