I major obstacle will be that this isn't covered by the NETWM spec and
you'll have issues reporting the current virtual desktop or treating
requests to move or move windows there.
So the implementation would probably have to exist aside that concept
and then is just some way to manage the mapping state of windows on the
current (in doubt only) virtual desktop.
