effects/overview: fix behavior when deskotp grid doesn't layout

When the option "organize windows in desktop grid" is disabled,
the windows on other desktops were invisible (and opacity===0)

Also, the offsetX property wasn't set quite right, because

initialHidden now does not depend on isOnOtherDesktop anymore
so the windows are visible, and offsetX depends on mainBackground.deltaColumn
when gridVal is > 0, is not inversely proportional to gridval anymore, but on/off
