The consept of the desk/view is explained rather fully in the man
page for Pager (man Pager); so I won't repeat myself here.

Why, it's just a matter of semantics here. A view is a desk is a
view is a desk. Maybe this will be clear when you read the desk/view
portion of the man page. But then again mybe you want/need the titles on
the Pager.
