    Drop the ObscurringWindow functionality on desktop switching · 38ce05ea

    Summary:
    The ObscurringWindows are a hack to make it more unlikely that the
    desktop wallpaper becomes visible while switching desktops. This was
    introduced in 2001 with SVN revision 90111
    (git d194f743).
    
    In 2001 desktop switching was probably a costly action where it was not
    possible to just reorder the desktop in one frame. Nowadays we use
    mostly compositing and with compositing the ObscurringWindows are
    already disabled. But even in the case that no compositing is used I
    consider it as very unlikely that the desktop becomes visible during the
    switching. Given that I think it's time to remove this legacy solution.
