Yeah, I agree with all this. In that case, I've changed my mind about
this and will be happy to take it, but I'll note here that decorations
really ought to be moved into their own independently paintable
objects in the paint stack, rather than hooking the paint function for
the desktop window (the primary problem with this approach is that a
plugin can inhibit the painting of a desktop window and then the panel
will have no shadow, which doesn't make any sense to me). However,
since we don't have the infrastructure in core to do that yet, we'll
have to do it this way for now.
