With KDE3 I could configure the pager (used to switch desktops) and had 
control over the font and background so that the names were easily 
readable.

Ever since SL (and Fedora) introduced KDE4, I've been frustrated in my 
attempts to get readable text in the pager.  I'm sure there is something 
buried under lots of other facts, but I can't seem to ferret it out.  I'm 
hoping that I can get a pointer to the configuration file that controls 
the display of the pager.

TIA

Clint
