awesomeWM workspaces and skippy-xd about awesome HOT 3 CLOSED

but the workspace are not specific thing in awesome wm - in other window managers (think openbox) the workspaces are implemented the same

so i don't think it's a good idea to use awesome's api to query that info, but rather query it from x itself

from awesome.

@actionless if that is the case, then we should have

_NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS == XineramaQueryScreens()

rather than

_NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS == XineramaQueryScreens() * (virtual desktops per screen)

E.g. when there are 9 tags, and 1 screen, _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS == 9; but when there are 2 screens, then _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS == 18.

From https://specifications.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/1.3/ar01s03.html,

 This property should be set and updated by the Window Manager to indicate the *number of virtual desktops*.

from awesome.

but that's a property of a root window, so it will be a number of desktops for the screen on which that window at - that's nothing to do with awesome wm so it would be better to seek help on xserver community
