Root property for desktop window id

Hello list,

The wm spec recommends the use of a root property to hold the id of the
desktop window in order to allow other applications to draw the
background (http://freedesktop.org/Standards/wm-spec/1.3/ar01s07.html). 

Would it be a good idea to make this property part of the spec as well,
say _NET_DESKTOP_WINDOW ? The property should probably be optional and
only be used if you want external applications to draw (on) the
background.

If there is such a standard and I missed it, please let me know.

Thanks,
	Jasper
