Just remember that issuing this command crashes the gnome pager that is
swallowed in the gnome panel, it is crashed even on "MoveToDesk 0 50".
EWMH also says negative desktop numbers are not allowed, so there may be
more applications that stop working. Just tested - both GNOME panel and
kicker (KDE panel) crashed after "GotoDesk 0 -12".

There are 2 issues here. The first is styles for individual windows that
are still under the developement.
The second is that there is no opposite boolean style option for NoIcon.
I plan to add later new Style option HasIcon that is what you need here.
