Suggested Patch

To allow DesktopExtensions to do general modifications on forms a new method was added to IDesktopExtension, which is call right at the beginning of the addForm method of the AbstractDesktop.
The difference between a simple listner to the formAddedEvent and this method is, that the method is called before any UI is informed about a new form.
The form is provided in a holder. This allows it to prevent the form being added
to the desktop (set reference to null) do some general modifications need to be
done prior UI instantiation or even set it to another instance.
