Re: patch for _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN

["Matthias Clasen" <matthiasc poet de>]

I think the hidden state should also be mentioned in the introduction where
it talks about the alternatives
for implementing multiple desktops. Also, the advice for pagers should be to
look for the hidden state if
the wm supports it and fall back to IconicState otherwise).
