A:
You will get a PropertyNotify on _NET_WM_DESKTOP http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/latest/ar01s05.html#id2568910
(only with WMs that support _NET_WM_DESKTOP, but most standard ones do)

Thanks for the answer but I've a question. When run the application which creates window with XCreateWindow it _NET_WM_DESKTOP occurs why is that for. I guess the first is for setting the window to desktop 0, but why occurs the second one ?

just depends on how the WM does this. some WMs may not have an optimization to avoid setting it twice to the same value, for example.Read the WM code and it'll probably be clear.
