[kwlug-disc] Can flip desktops when screen sharing (at least in BBB)

Turn on BBB presentation, share screen (not a single window), and viewer
of a BBB stream will see correct changes.
We can use it in presentations: one desktop with slides, another with
demo part one, and so on, add as needed.
While presenting, when you don't have two screens in front of you for
prepped material, the only screen better be a mirror of what audience
sees. Twisting once head to look at other monitor adds a tiny bit
disorienting friction. Hence, use multiple (virtual) desktops, flip
through them in front of the audience. Prepped table of a surgeon is
also an impressive sight. And splitting material into "desktop pages"
will also structure a presentation.
I suspect/hope that mac and windows should also pass desktop flips on
shared screen.
