* Removed the DesktopSettings lock itself - it's not really needed at all,
and causes some trouble with a clean locking design. This may even have
fixed bug #757, at least I couldn't reproduce it anymore.
* There is now a class for read-only access that requires you to have locked
the desktop (either read or write).
* There is now another class LockedDesktopSettings that allows you to set
settings (and only that) - when you're changing the settings, you must not
have read locked the desktop (ie. hold the single window lock). The class
will obtain a write lock, but write locks can be nested.
* Moved SetWorkspacesCount() into the Desktop class.

modes right yet.
The settings are stored in B_USER_SETTINGS_DIRECTORY/system/app_server/workspaces.
They are currently saved as a flattened BMessage - we might want to switch to the
driver_settings format, though.

* moved the system default font functionality into the DesktopSettings class.
* ServerFont::SetStyle() is now a public method.
* Improved font fallback routines: they will never end up without a font if
there is at least one font installed.
* fixed some minor bugs in the DecorManager.
* Decorator now get a DesktopSettings object passed - dunno if that's a good
idea (since we'll have to open the DesktopSettings header), but it works
for now (and something like this is probably needed anyway).
* a clean ServerFont is now set to the system default font - and not to the
(user chosen) desktop default font anymore (since the font manager doesn't
know about that one).
* Improved font directory scanning in the font manager a bit, it's now using
find_directory() instead of hard-coded paths.

the desktop's settings, you have to do something like this:
DesktopSettings settings(desktop);
settings.SetMouseMode(mode);
The advantage of this is that this object is fully locked, and cannot lead to
corrupted settings anymore. Also, the settings will stay the same until you
delete the object again.
Updated all accesses to use this new API.
Removed no longer used FFM messages.
Implemented AS_{GET|SET}_MENU_INFO for future use.
