Desktop.ActiveWindow gives you the id of the currently active window.

Setting that property asks the window manager to change the current 
active window. It's exactly the same thing has calling the Activate() 
method on a DesktopWindow object.

I suggest you read the 'gb.desktop' source code to understand what 
happens exactly.

Anyway, there is only one active window, as the X11 root window property 
that stores the active window only returns one window id, so I don't 
understand how you can say that you have three active windows !?
