Exclude DESKTOP windows from window previews

Florian Müllner requested to merge fmuellner/gnome-shell-extensions:handle-desktop-windows into master

While nautilus removed its desktop support a while ago in favor of an extension, it's still possible that some external X11 desktop icon app is used. As DESKTOP windows cannot be moved between workspaces or stacked, and aren't perceived as regular windows, it doesn't make sense to show them as previews in the workspace switcher.
