Title: GTK+ window as desktop

Under UNIX-like operating systems that use X11, the GTK+ hint "GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DESKTOP" means that the window will be used as a desktop background window.

An example of a desktop background window is Nautilus, when it shows the icons on your desktop, or explorer.exe under Windows.

This allows using node-webkit to develop desktop environments (DEs) or other interesting projects that might need a desktop window.

as_desktop must be set in the window object of package.json.
Tested only under Linux.
