Replace window->workspaces with window->workspace (16.68 KB, patch)

Description Elijah Newren 2004-10-22 20:43:07 UTC 
As pointed out in bug 105665, we have some conflicting requirements:
  - windows are allowed to be on more than one workspace
  - "showing desktop" is now a per-workspace quantity instead of a global one
  - _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN is still a global quantity, not a per-workspace one

Havoc said he'd like to fix this by only having windows on one workspace at a
time--since that is pretty much what we do right now anyway.

This means replacing window->workspaces (a GList of MetaWorkspace*'s) with
window->workspace (just a MetaWorkspace*), and also making the change suggested
in bug 87531 for those that like sticky windows.

Replace window->workspaces with window->workspace

A nice side-effect of doing this is there are a number of small clean-ups that
are enabled with this change.  It also turns out there were at least a couple
places where we were already assuming that there was only one item in the
workspaces GList.

Replace window->workspaces with window->workspace

Seems like a good cleanup - safe to say that if we haven't added "window is on
multiple workspaces" by now we won't ever think of a reason to do so.
