hc: show the playbar in both desktops

Both desk files carried playbarshown 0, so the playbar was hidden in
attached and detached alike. All eight stock desktops that show a playbar
use playbarshown 1, which is the only field involved in its visibility.

The neighbouring `playbar` field is left at -1. Every stock desktop uses
-1, including all six that show a playbar, and there is no other value
anywhere in the install to compare against -- so whether it names a pane
to dock the playbar under is a guess, and a bad value there is a layout
that fails to load at startup.

Desk files are read at startup, so this needs a Houdini restart.
