Hi all,

I took a stab at implementing CDEish minimised app icons on the
desktop.  It's coming along pretty well.  You can't drag them around
yet, but it otherwise works.  Give it a try on xfdesktop trunk and let
me know what you think.

Here it is in action:

Note that I'm *not* going to support arbitrary positioning of icons:
they'll always be aligned to a grid wherever they are on the desktop.

I'm also *not* going to support files or application launchers on the
desktop.  Xffm already provides that, and Thunar will as well, so if
you want that, use that.  This is just for people that like the old CDE
feel.

2:45am... I should be in bed...
