[openbox] Move all windows to other desktop

[Mathias Dufresne]

In my menu.xml I did added both your nice tricks as follow:

<menu id="apps-desktop-mgmt" label="Desktop Management">
  <item label="New Desktop before that one">
    <action name="AddDesktop">
      <where>current</where>
    </action>
  </item>
  <separator />
  <item label="Move all windows to previously visited desktop">
    <action name="ForEach">
      <desktop>current</desktop>
      <then>
        <action name="SendToDesktop">
          <to>last</to>
        </action>
      </then>
    </action>
  </item>
</menu>

This works when adding a new desktop but I'm not able to move all windows
at once.
