I would also vote for turning it off. AFAICT, the current behavior is 
inconsistent with the tab widget which does only the current desktop's apps. 
Until the tab thingy is fixed to follow the discussed setting I guess 
disabling it would be a good idea, if consistency is of interest. If I've got 
everything right..

Anyway, attached one-liner disables the setting.
