Comment (by looncraz):
Sorry, I didn't see this become assigned to me somehow (or forgot).
Someone marked B_DESKTOP_COLOR as deprecated, which I think was less than
advantageous.
I believe a proper solution would involve piggy-backing on the
B_COLORS_UPDATED message while using B_DESKTOP_COLOR. One would need to
add a relevant workspace and screen_id to the message, though, which means
special handling for this case no matter how it is done.
I think the patch, as it is, is not really desirable. But I always prefer
more generic solutions... is it worthwhile broadcasting a color update
message to every app? That's a tough question to answer given the cost is
still very low.
