Perfect World wasn't actually crashing, it was going off screen as in bug
10142.

After reversing those two patches DDO (didn't try PW yet) behaves as it did
before:

Without virtual desktop: Game minimizes to bottom left when mouse leaves
screen/focus is lost and can be restored by double clicking (normal windows
behaviour?). 

Without virtual desktop with "Allow the window manager to control the windows":
Game minimizes to top left leaving a "dead" game screen (screenshot here:

double clicking top left, mousing off and back on then double clicking top left
again. Simply double clicking results in an unresponsive but active game
screen.

With virtual desktop: Game acts as if it never loses focus, stays full screen,
doesn't lose interactivity (ideal for dual screen setup).

I'm curious though, should "Allow the window manager to control the windows"
block this sort of undesirable behaviour? Using a virtual desktop does/did work
but always seemed more like a workaround than a fix to me.
