aaah well... if you are going to make this ipc... you should be a bit more
thorough. note that e17 has not just X x Y virtual desktops, but zones and
containers. containers are create per x root window (x may have multiple root
window) - right now there is only 1 container per root - but nothing stopping
more of them. then each container may have 1 or more zones (rectangular regions
within the container that a physical screen looks at). these generally
correspond to xinerama screens. then each zone can have X x Y desktops - so...
if you want ipc to flip desktops - you need to tell it which zone AND which
container to flip the desktop of :)
