there is not much plasma can do about this. KWin manages this, and until there is a window manager hint that lets us say "this is a dashboard" there's no way for kwin to really differentiate between a dashboard view and any other fullscreened window (at least not in a hackish way, or without some window-specific feature defined)

i'm filing this as a wishslist against KWin to eventually have the ability to mark dashboard (or any similar window) as such so that KWin (or any other similarly smart wm) can behave accordingly.

Lubos has discussed this in the past already, so I know he's at least aware of the issue. =)
