Done, it seems to work but in the file there was a '#' before 
',StartOnDesk 1', doesn't that mean it's a comment?

I tried that with no effect.
but rather:
*PagerRows      2
*PagerColumns    4

The 'Work' is still 2x2.
But is there not a misunderstanding... my aim is to have one workspace 
'Work' with 4x2 virtual screens...

One more thing found:
When launching afterstep, there a message in the log telling something 
about not finding 'MonitorWharf'. At this point nothing appends until i 
move the mouse around.
