Exiting edit mode should only restore the windows if the Present Windows effect was invoked by entering edit mode, not if the effect was already invoked manually by the user.
  
  
  eh. that's potentially a problem. not sure how to do that.
  
  > While in Edit mode, if I click on the desktop, it exits edit mode. This feels very unnatural and I find myself accidentally exiting the mode a lot. I think it makes sense to automatically exit the mode when another application is focused, but not the Plasma desktop itself.
  
  I actually like that a lot, to me is really the click anywhere to dismiss pattern all over the place in modal dialogs, websites and what not.
  If I have to remove it, i would at least keep it for touch events, as i really want it in plasma mobile (and is harder to exit from edit mode there)
