And so do I, but things like this usually meet some opposition when
pushed into Geany...

I'll probably alter it to check a few well-known directories of mine,
and then fallback to the new default behaviour.

A slight change to your patch:

	...
	if (err == Success && result == Success)
	{
		if (type == XA_CARDINAL && format == 32 && nitems > 0)
			ret = current_desktop[0];
		XFree (current_desktop);
	}
	gdk_display_close (display);
	...

will avoid the two returns, and close the display on unsuccessful
operation.

Under GDK_WINDOWING_WIN32, you can get the current desktop with
the "Window Station and Desktop Functions". But it's a name, not a
number.
