The root cause here is my misunderstanding of my initial request. What I'm encountering is when the mouse scroll wheel is used in certain places, it swiches through different windows on the same workspace. Unfortunately, unchecking "Use the mouse wheel on the desktop to switch workspaces" doesn't help me with this. I've re-written the Bug Description to reflect this.
