Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
Have an option to disabled it

A developer in Rosa has made a patch for this:

As kde-workspace 4.x seems to be frozen for new features, perhaps there's no hope for this patch to be added in upstream. :-/

I developed my own tool
