it's not immediately clear that you have to use "--" in order that
negative numbers are parsed correctly:


$ xdotool set_desktop --relative -1
set_desktop: unrecognized option '-1'
Usage: set_desktop desktop
--relative - Move relative to the current desktop. Negative values OK

$ xdotool set_desktop --relative -- -1

This patch adds a clearer example.
