Comment:
Some apps actually rely on this flag to hide from DeskBar while having a
window (for example LnLauncher). Please don't change that, it would be
annoying for such apps. If an app declares itself to be a background app,
it probably has good reasons to do so.
I think the correct solution is elsewhere: applications in that case
should make sure their alerts are B_FLOATING_ALL and so they can't be lost
under other windows. Then you don't need DeskBar to locate them.
