That would work except the device will open a mini-window if it wants one.

I put my n900 down 20 minutes ago, with no windows open. But when I pick it up again, it will have opened one saying I have new email (it's a maemo-community mail from QGil!). As it is currently on silent, I may also have missed a text message, so there'll be a window for my conversations app - and possibly one for my phone if I missed a call.

All these things happened in the background, but still open a dashboard window if they need to. I think part of the cleverness of the device is that it isn't quite so clear cut.
