I do. 

The current pager wastes a lot of panel space. Unless you have a very
high res display, the labels on the window buttons get unreadable really quickly.

IMO a better solution would be a combination of a task bar and a 
seperate desktop pager. The pager could live in the panel, the 
taskbar above.
