I forgot here that we already have CurrentPage condition (in brackets),
so CurrentPage option is not needed.

Here we have both CurrentDesk condition and option. I think the option is
here for historical reasons only, because all these lines are equivalent:

  WindowList CurrentDesk
  WindowList (CurrentDesk)
  WindowList (CurrentDesk) CurrentDesk

There is currently a mix between options and conditions. Options
  CurrentDesk, Desk d, Layer m [n], NoIcons/Icons/OnlyIcons,
  NoNormal/Normal/OnlyNormal, NoSticky/Sticky/OnlySticky,
  NoOnTop/OnTop/OnlyOnTop, NoOnBottom/OnBottom/OnlyOnBottom
could all be removed, we either already have corresponding window
conditions or such conditions may be added, like Desk and Layer.

Mikhael.
