At the moment this is not possible directly in Gambas, you must deal 
with X11 window properties.

First read the standard if you haven't already read it:

http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/1.4/

It will tell you how a top-level window can reserve space on the desktop 
like a panel, for example.

Some X11 specific things have been implemented in the gb.desktop 
component, and in GUI components (gb.qt4, gb.gtk and gb.gtk3). But that 
needs some clean-up:

- Every X11 specific thing must be removed from GUI component.

- All X11 specific thing must be put in gb.desktop, and in a way that 
Wayland support can be transparently added in the future.

Once you have studied the standard carefully, just tell me, and I will 
start to modify gb.desktop so that you don't have to do any call inside 
the X11 library.
