Yes this works fine.  As long as there is a chunk of root window showing
I can now press my middle mouse button, get a WindowList and select the
pager.  I imagine I can do the same for Wharf.  Course, it still would be
nice to be able to bind the pager and Wharf to a couple of keys so I 
could pop them up from the keyboard.  Just the same, your work around
goes a long way towards the functionality I am seeking.  Thank you.
