That would probably be the best way i guess.
But then we still have an empty taskbar area occupied by the pager
during the 4.10 cycle. I can hardly imagine that to be the intention?

It's just a simple QML one liner.. If you want i can commit the change
(as posted a few posts back) to 4.10..

When i brought this issue up in RB and moved it to this list i was
actually expecting a reply like: "Ohh, we introduced a new pager in
4.10 that occupies space without putting anything in it by default.
Lets fix that asap." But there is nothing like that. Like you guys
just don't see it as an issue.. Why is that?
