The way CurrentScreen works now is it selects windows on the current page,
on any desk. The patch changes CurrentScreen so that is always refers
to just the visible page (and not the same page on different desks).
The patch adds CurrentPage to maintain the functionality of the old
CurrentScreen.
I think it is usefull to be able to specify any window on the current desk,
and window on the current page (any desk), and windows only on the
currently visible page. What does everyone else think?
If all three specifications are available, what are the most intuitive
names for them? My vote is for CurrentDesk, CurrentPage, and CurrentScreen.
I would like to hear what other people think.
