the desktop can do that it's still not a configurable option bu t
could eventually be more prominent  one day
for the panel it's a bit different i think, sinche there isn't just
the taskbar in it, so having a different set of applets in the panel
per desktop i'm not sure it's what we want, or if it would be slightly
counterproductive.
Kinda like more the sebas patch for now.
what it could be nice would be having a way to say to all the
windowswe are about to enter in that effect so they could decide to
show or not...
