Fix#7: Add "Other" catch-all category to the launcher. map_category() now
returns "Other" instead of "" for unrecognized .desktop Categories, and an
"Other" tab is added to the CATS list so those apps are discoverable instead
of silently hidden.
Fix#8: Respect ICCCM WM_NORMAL_HINTS. client_add() reads PMinSize,
PResizeInc, and PBaseSize from the window's size hints. The resize drag
handler in events.c clamps to min_w/min_h and snaps to the
width_inc/height_inc grid, fixing jank in character-cell terminal emulators
(xterm, Alacritty).
Fix#10: Optional freedesktop icon loading via imlib2. The launcher now
parses the Icon= field from .desktop files and attempts to render a PNG icon
from Papirus-Dark (or hicolor fallback). When imlib2 is not present the
existing letter-square is shown unchanged. launcher/Makefile auto-detects
imlib2 via pkg-config and sets -DHAVE_IMLIB2.
Fix#11: True 4-desktop support in the WM. Each Client carries a desktop
field (assigned at map time from wm->cur_desktop). Clicking a workspace
button in the deskbar sends _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP; the WM now handles it via
wm_switch_desktop() which unmaps frames on the leaving desktop, maps frames
on the arriving desktop, and re-focuses. _NET_WM_DESKTOP is set per window
so the deskbar can filter db_update_apps() to show only current-desktop
windows (sticky windows with desktop 0xFFFFFFFF are always shown).
- Launcher now loads apps dynamically from /usr/share/applications
and ~/.local/share/applications instead of a hardcoded list;
maps desktop Categories to tab system, falls back to built-in list
on systems without .desktop files (dev/macOS builds)
- Launcher gains scroll support: mouse wheel and PgUp/PgDn scroll
the app grid, scrollbar drawn on right edge when needed
- Deskbar status bar shows VOL % from pactl (cached, polls every 5s)
- Deskbar status bar: scroll wheel changes volume ±5%, left-click
toggles mute
