Summary: icewm 1.3 fails with qt-menus in multi-heads

Initial Comment:
If using e.g. dolphin in a multihead environment under icewm, the pulldown menus (File,Edit,...) are only visible on the primary screen.
At all other screens the button is selected but no menu appears. The problem occurs also with other qt apps like smplayer or yast2.
No such problem with icewm 1.2.

The following patch fix the issue: http://pastebin.com/wxJyeWMH

Actually it was inspired by the corresponding patches for the awesome WM (
https://awesome.naquadah.org/bugs/index.php?getfile=289 ). It simply remove
support for _NET_WORKAREA. Not sure it is the best solution but everything
seems to work fine now.
