First cut at a cross-"platform" X11/Wayland windowing library

[Gaël Bonithon]

Looking at what needs to be done for the tasklist panel plugin (and also windowmenu, though to a lesser extent), I figure I'd better use your library, otherwise I'm off to rewrite what you're doing in one form or another.

So let's go for Libxfce4windowing, goodbye Libxfcewl. Sniff. Maybe I'll put it on GitHub anyway...

A lot of functions won't do anything though, as a lot of things are missing in the protocols as already said, but at least it will minimize the extent of the changes. And it will hopefully prepare the future :)

Cheers,
Gaël

I think my preference for a generic abstraction would be for a separate library: I can see the utility of libwnck on its own, which has seen some good use in a variety of places. And I'd maybe hope that what I've written might find use outside Xfce... there's currently nothing Xfce-specific in it, so I might even consider renaming it to something generic and releasing it on its own
