Who owns the root-window? The AES or the application?

The standard way to set a new desktop in AES is to use  
wind_set(WF_NEWDESK, object...). The AES draws this object-tree whenever  
(parts of) the desktop needs to be redrawn. Unless userdefs are involved  
the application that "owns" the desktop doesn't know when or where the  
desktop is redrawn. I don't see how any application can consider the root  
window as any other window.
