bug#16097: [PATCH] Treat windows on other spaces as not visible in Cocoa

(Apparently this failed to send correctly the first time. I know
Robert already replied to it, but it's not in the mailing list
archive, and I don't see my second follow up to this bug either.)

I'm afraid I don't much. It looks like the updateVisibility method
doesn't actually do enough to replace the windowDidBecomeKey method.

It also needs a good clean. For example there's a hunk that appears to
just be removing a single blank line and most of the #ifdef's are
redundant. I guess some of the weirdness in it is just because it's so
old.

Is this really how other terms work, where visibility is tied into
which virtual desktop is "active"?

I'm not against this behaviour, I just don't like the look of this
particular patch very much.
