i wouldn't be against not shipping the pager by default.
there is just one thing that doesn't sound about right.
should also be easy to go back to multiple desktop, and if the pager is not 
there, then the user can easiuly increase the number of desktops in 
systemsettings, but then doesn't get any pager and looks like setting that 
option didn't have any effects (i can already sense bug reports for that :p)
