Expose allDesktops option from rc.xml in the desktop section

See issue #252

Some UX and technical aspects complicate things. The "allDesktops" option is fairly buried in the keybindings in the xml, hence the strings for the node names. I guess there's potential for something to break if some other program is used for remapping those.

There seems to be a tension between the separation of concerns between the window manager and desktop environment. Also, whether this belongs in the "Desktops" section of obconf-qt, the "Windows" section, or a separate section, I'm not altogther sure.

Thanks, it looks working fine here both on my user and on my testuser. As we state in the readme obconf-qt isn't actively developed anymore, hopefully some dev will review your code. Consider contributing to https://github.com/labwc/labwc-tweaks?

It looks like Lubuntu will base its Wayland session on labwc in future:

Our current plans are to switch from X11 to labwc by default in 26.04, as labwc is a stable, well-established, Openbox-like Wayland compositor that we have experience with.
