Patch series for faster composited workspace switching #25

Hi,
I have a patch series that enables openbox to use a "fakeroot" window and XRestack for virtual desktop switching instead of XUnmapWindow. That way, if a compositor is running, windows do not have to be redrawn, making desktop switching very fast. Further, it allows to share window contents of other virtual desktops via zoom or OBS Studio. This idea is not new, but for instance used by kwin-x11.
While I'm running this stably for over a year now, cleaning the patches up and basing them on your work branch requires quite a bit of work. Thus I would like to ask beforehand, whether you are -- in principle -- interested and willing to review and merge them here.
Another request: could you please release a new version? For instance d41128e is quite an important commit...

Thanks and kind regards, Tycho
