If I have any desktop space free,
my scroll wheel on my mouse changes desktops.

And, like mikshaw,
the alt-left-mouse / alt-right-mouse works
for moving and resizing my tasks..

(Alt) ...left mouse moves, right mouse resizes.

Hm, OK, didn't know those two, now that I know, I guess I can't think of any reason to have the pager :O

It's a funny thing about these programs.  It seems they are very popular....those who use them find them invaluable, and those who don't use them don't see what the point is.
It makes me wonder what use John has for it....I assume that if it is enabled in DSL then he must believe it's important?

It could be similar to the console/gui editor preference, though.  A lot of people find gui to be an unnecessary annoyance in a text editor, while others feel a gui is essential.

I guess it comes down to what you like.  Personally I prefer using hotkeys to navigate through applications and workspaces (mousewheel is handy, but mine has been worn out for a year or more...stupid mousewheel weapon-switching :D).

If we must have the pager, the slit is a good place.

I set the height in fluxter.bb to 45 and then use

fluxter -w&

to send it into the slit. Sure the little "desktops" are too skinny, but it is fine by me. The slit is set for "always on top" and "autohide" and I position it at top center. Since desktop 1 usually has Firefox full screen so I can't mousewheel on the desktop, I can just use fluxter and a middle mouse button click to jump to another desktop. The slit is top center because most other things that I click are up in that area too.

Keep it simple.
