Gnome-Pager Task Switching!

[sml13 cornell edu]

Well, after successfully compiling E from CVS (whoah, boy! :-) I can 
attest to the fact that gnome-pager does indeed do task-switching just 
dandy.  It even allows you to configure if you want to the tasks just on 
the current desktop to be shown or all tasks (a feature fvwm95 is 
lacking...to my knowlege...and a feature which I wrote Mike asking for in 
his thing).  For those doubting Thomases out there (my heart is with you, 
my friends...for I am one of you :-), here is a screenshot on my very own 
desktop:

Yeah, Mike, you might want to focus on contributing to the current 
Gnome-Pager...cuz this thing rocks!

Enjoy ;-)
