set window type for monitor roots to _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DESKTOP to prevent them from being considered an application window by, for example, screen capture software.
prior to this change firefox would offer monitor root windows in its window capture chooser interface, and if chosen, would raise them which would cause input events to be misdirected.
