This solution is a trick to speed the switch times when going from one
desk to a different one. In fact it first switches to the (empty) desk
#10000 and then to the desired new desk.
The time saving comes by the fact that it takes less time to remove the
old windows completely and then displaying the new windows than it takes
to remove old/display new windows interleaved (because removing is not
instantaneous).
At least that's what I _think_ the idea was behind it, if I recall the
discussion with Rob Nation correctly.
