I'll try and help with the first.

A patch is in cvs for this.  The diff for this patch can be found here:

http://cvs.berlios.de/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/appletrpms/afterapps-specs/SOURCES/AfterStep-2.2.8-Pager.c.patch?rev=1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

Squares are nice, but why not keep the aspect correct?  For example:

4:3   -> 64 * 3 / 4   = 48, or  64x48
16:9  -> 64 * 9 / 16  = 36, or  64x36
16:10 -> 64 * 10 / 16 = 40, or  64x40

I have experienced this, without the patch.  With the patch, 
Wharf sometimes is a little narrower than it's supposed to be. Stopping 
and re-starting Wharf (MonitorWharf) usually fixes it; things align correctly
after the restart.

I have been using DeskTopScale to size Pager in Wharf, rather than 
PagerGeometry.  I'll play around with the latter and see if that makes a 
difference.


On to the second... no clue :)

WinList is next on the documentation cleanup.  There's very little 
currently, although we should have something for next release.  Did you 
try WinListMinSize and WinList MaxSize?

I think what you are doing sounds neat.  Maybe there's a need for fixing 
the WinList "pane" sizes.
