Hello all!

My devel machine at work is running F17 and KDE. There are lots of little
things about KDE that bug me, but this one is driving me batty.

I keep 12 workspaces open. Yes, 12 -- it works for me. At any time, I'll
have multiple instances (or at least multiple windows) open, spread around
the various workspaces. For example, I might have 3 or 4 kate windows open
in various workspaces, each editing groups of files relevant to what I'm
doing with that workspace.

Now, if I open a new file from, for example, Dolphin, the system picks one
of the existing kate windows and opens the file in that. The problem is
that I never want that to happen. It's especially aggravating when the
window that opens the file is not even in the same workspace that I'm
viewing when I select the file.

This also happens when I click links in emails. They always open in a
(randomly? chosen) browser window even if that browser window is not in my
current workspace.

Is there a way to configure KDE to always open files or links in a new
window? In the current workspace? It would be nice if there were some
universal setting for this behavior, but I'll settle for just a way to make
files opened in Dolphin always appear in a new window.
