i think there should only be one active context at a time, and since you can 
only really interact with one virtual desktop at a time (cube/sphere/grid 
effects not-withstanding) i think we should just publish the currently active 
one.

or, we could publish it per-virtual desktop as well and let apps decide what 
desktop(s) they care about? hm.
