When a user clicks on a task that wants attention from another desktop, they are brought to that desktop and shown that application.  When they return to the last desktop, the task will remove itself since it no longer needs attention.

My apologies about the deletion of lines.  It may have happened after removing some debug outputs.

The user can then see that an application on a different desktop requires attention, click the window and be brought to the desktop.  When the window no longer requires attention it is no longer shown on other desktops.  This modification is relatively simple and only changes a few lines.  This is my first KDE patch and I would greatly appreciate the review.  I was unsure of the best way to bring forward this patch so I have submitted an attachment to the bugreport and sent in a request to the panel-devel mailinglist (Message is waiting on admin approval).  I do not mean to be too intrusive.
