plasma/desktop/shell/controllerwindow.cpp
<http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/103858/#comment8577>

    m_ignoreWindowClosed is true when a window with the DoNotCloseController 
property is closed.
    
    so this change means that only if such a window has closed and the new 
window does not have a DoNotCloseController tag, then the controller will 
close. 
    
    when, exactly, is that condition met?
    
    basically, this renders it such that opening ANY window in the 
plasma-desktop process will not close the controller, and that is obviously not 
what is wanted.
    
    a proper fix is probably to check that none of the parent windows also have 
this property.
