Ok, thank you.

I've expected something like this, thanks for explanation.

There is an applet on which I'm working now (rather, on porting) which 
provides some concepts from minimalistic WMs (predominantly tiling ones) which 
besides the basic functions (simply control by desktops) was able to hide 
selected panels by hotkey pressing. I.e. atm this action should look like such 
applet [1].

As long as I don't bond to any prefered realization, it may be implemented by 
any reasonable way, e.g. Dbus calls, library functions (but calling external 
application/script is an undesirable way of course).
