We make a custom "desktop" that allows running other JavaFX applications inside it.

Extentions / exercises:
1. Only allow window movement when the user drags the border. You can try adding a rectangle as a node so you can attach event handlers to just the border.
2. Add a full 4-side border to DesktopWindow.
3. Add minimize, maximize and close buttons to the window.
4. Allow icons to start programs from your _own_ desktop.
