Access to desktop information - updated patch

Patch updated in accordance with Stephen J. Turnbull's comments,

also properly formatted in GNU style. There seems to be no suitable X11
typedef for INT_32_BIT, so I've left that as the explicit XEmacs 32-bit type.
Looks good, as far as it goes.
I'm sorry to come back with this at this point, but since Francois
Revel has expressed interest in desktop management for BeOS, I wonder
if `on-desktop' and `current-desktop' (note, no "x-"!) shouldn't be
implemented via frame and console methods. You should be able to call
them on anything that can be resolved to the appropriate object (eg,
frames and windows, but not buffers).
What do you think?
If you think it's a good idea but are unclear on the concept of object
methods in XEmacs, we can discuss how to accomplish this (both the
technical details and the work allocation).
