Comment (by perelandra):
All this patch does is signal that a desktop color change has occurred,
not specifically what color or on what workspace. That triggers Screen to
query the app_server for the updated value.
How many applications would use such a message if it was broadcast
globally? Anything that provides a preview view of the desktop, but
probably not that many. Is there an interface by which an application can
"subscribe" to watch for a specific message on the app server? I know you
can watch the Roster for when an application quits or launches, anything
similar for app_server?
