You're mixing apples and oranges. qx.application.Standalone is one of 
the framework's application life cycle classes - it has to do with 
starting and stopping your app, and how it integrates into the loading 
web page.

You're talking qx.ui.window.Desktop here? - window.Desktop is a 
container widget, a structuring element you use to build up your UI.

I think your main application class should derive from 
qx.application.Standalone, and you can use qx.ui.window.Desktop in there 
as your main container for further window widgets. Have a look at the 
window demos in Demobrowser and Playground.
