Because the pager displays the virtual desktops for a given screen. each screen has its own virtual desktop set. think of it as 2 parent directories with N child dirs (one per desktop) and windows inside these. that's why - it's structured this way in e. There isn't a pager on the ibar. there is a shelf. shelves can contain many gadgets. pager is one. ibar is another gadget... ibar itself is concerned with launching apps. it happens to be able to list (on mouseover of an icon) any windows associated with that desktop file that ibar is showing to launch things. it has no filtering to filter this list down in any way. same for the extra icons it adds for windows as they appear - if they match a desktop file somewhere it adds them on the right to indicate that app was launched. again - no filtering per desktop or screen. > Is it because the ibar is also screen specific?
