Ok, I'm confirming that Pager have a bug in icon handling code.
Pager is not changing Desk for deiconified window, when it suppose to.
As the temporary fix try commenting out *StickyPagerIcons setting in
Pager config.
That wil actually lead to another bug, but less disastrous - Pager will not
show icon in it's window,
despite that it's on Desk and visible. :)
I'm working on fix right now, so hopefully we'll have another patch
tomorrow ( 10/16 ).
