I patched Awesome to let desktop windows be visible on certain tags.
What are your thoughts on these changes?

Description: Taggable desktops
This patch allows windows of type Desktop to be visible only on certain tags.
This works by removing the assumption that desktop windows are always visible
(see diff in client.c).
.
Other changes include:
* Returning an empty table of tabs when querying the tabs function.
(see second diff in client.c)
* Returning a table of clients excluding the desktop client when querying the
tag clients.
(see diff in tag.c)
