Hmm, not sure this is a good idea. If KWin ate scrolls on screen edges, apps would be unable to get those events.

To be honest, I don't fully understand what this bug report is about. If I understand correctly, the problem is that plasma cycles through virtual desktop when scrolling a screen edge. If so, it's intentional. The screen edge glow should not eat wheel events so plasma handle wheel events. If you find the current behavior annoying, disable wheel action in plasmashell's settings (right click, configure desktop and wallpaper, mouse actions...)
