I know and i did that :)

The current pager is perfect if you have one monitor or perhaps even
two since you can make a quite safe assumption that both monitors are
on thus having a pager with one VD makes no sense. So yes, i took that
step back and fully agree with how it's currently implemented based on
that step.

However, modern day desktops can have more displays attached then 1 or
2 and those displays don't have to be monitors. That's something to
also consider and i'm doing exactly that. I think the current pager
lacks that consideration.
