yeah, it's a quite unusual thing that is a bit perverse.
it is a full size, frameless window, that contains the "desktop" of the 
thing..
now, i don't set the window as a desktop because i want it to show up in the 
present window effect and i want to let it to go over other windows.
but the fact is that i have also a traditional panel, that is a dock, and 
always on top window (i have also other always on top windows, that are the 
popups of stuffs like the calendar)
what it happens is the following thing:
the panel will always stay in front of the desktop if another window is 
selected
as soon as the "desktop" window gets active, it covers the panel (that is 
always on top, but those can be covered by fullscreen windows)
soo, at the moment the window is kept -one- pixel smaller, lol :)
