KDE: turn off mouse-initiated desktop switching
From a KDE newbie:
I know how to turn the "mouse wheel switches desktop" on and off, but how do you turn off the behavior whereby moving the mouse off the right edge of the screen sends you to the next desktop?
Thanks for any help.

I am not aware that you can do this in KDE (if anyone knows differently, I'd like to know).
Some window managers (including Gnome (Sawfish?) and Afterstep) let you do this but I think KDE handles desktops differently.
If it is a missing feature, why not code it in?

The feature is there, and it's driving me crazy. I'd like to turn it off.

From the Control Centre, go to Desktop, then Window Behaviour. Click on the Advanced tab, and go to Window Behaviour.
The setting that controls this is “active desktop borders”. It's fairly self-explanitory from there.
Thanks for giving me the chance to find that!

Thank you all! I figured it was right there under my nose. Now I can tuck my mouse out of the way without losing the workspace.
