It sounds to me like this question is too loaded with usability issues 
for it to be answered in a freedesktop.org spec.  I think it needs some 
serious usability analysis... and needs to be decided in the desktops.

So adding configuration to the pager issue sounds justifiable to me. 
Either that, or we let the usability people from both desktop groups 
come up with their own decisions about the pager, and then hope that 
they came up with the same thing...

... but then somebody might come along with a good argument to change 
it, and we'll all have to argue over the spec again.

Anyway, I think that the spec should just get a little bit of extra 
configurability so that we can be done with it.  This isn't a question 
for this list to answer.
