This sounds like an advanced-user setup. I would expect advanced users
would know how to either run the kcm with kcmshell or run the pager
applet with `plasma-windowed pager`.
Actually I see the pager as a relict from the time when we did not have desktop grid. It's not really an advanced user setup, but I just find the
pager completely useless. I had had the pager quite long and dropped
it when I
realized that I don't use it, because I only use desktop grid.

For what its worth, my use of the pager applet is as an indicator of which
desktop I am on. I switch with shortcuts, but I like to glance at the
applet to know where I am.

Either that, or one could show a KMessageWidget in the KCM if there are
no pager applet, with a button offering to add one (assuming the KCM
can
do this)
sounds also fine.

Are you sure about that? It really uses the same KCM: there is a tab to
define keyboard shortcuts in the applet config.
yes I wrote (part of) the KCM :-)

Then your KCM must be the one which shows up when you configure virtual
desktops from the applet. Try this:
- open the applet config dialog
- go to "Virtual Desktops" page
- open Systemsettings
- go to "Workspace Behavior"
- go to "Virtual Desktops" page
  You should get a message saying:
"This configuration section is already opened in Plasma Desktop Shell"
