10.5: Open new Finder or Safari window in current space

So far, this is for me the most annoying "feature" of mac os X! :(

I simply don't understand what is the rule guiding this changing between open spaces. If you try opening one window on each space for two different applications, then just switch applications using Alt-Tab, you'll find yourself moving randomly from one open space to another, without rhyme or reason.

The thing I would really like is how to turn off this behavior. That is, I want to change open space ONLY when I explicitly ask for it.
