"to my experience , this is not a bug. if you use compiz , you can check general options, and there you have in "desktop size" : horizontal virtual size ( that are the size of the cube). this is not what kde sees."

Yes, Desktop size is 1 (2 if you want 2 cubes etc...), Horizontal virtual size is 4 and vertical 1:
Then tell me what I'm seeing in the KDE 4.1 pager when I add manually the plasmoid AFTER the compiz load (set as default window manager)... why every viewport is represented and 100% operational? you can move windows between viewports, you can see what have in each viewport with no bugs exactly as if kwin is the default window manager.

Due to your comment this can't happen because pager should paint only 1 unique part (the first viewport in compiz) of the desktop (because desktop size is set to "1") but pager plasmoid can paint every viewport you have.
In KDE3 I remember that pager was a bit bugged when was used in compiz but now as feature in KDE 4.1 pager is compatible with viewports of compiz
The only problem is that pager fails sometimes when is loaded compiz, painting only 1 viewport, fixable re-adding the pager to the panel. This in my town is called bug, not a "feature"... and is what I'm reporting :-)
