Re: Can KWin prevent windows from raising themselves from their v.desktop to the current v.desktop?

"firewalled" from each other (at least from the user's perspective),
as if they were running on another computer altogether.  No
notifications, no automatic switching, nothing unless I specifically
tell the machine to do so.

Or, call the option "don't change desktops" and leave it to change the desktop via one of the actions designated for that particular purpose. It'd be debatable in that case whether clicking on a window representation in the panel could be included *)
