Wasn't this already like this? I time ago I suggested in a thread about the 
size from kicker (low resultions problem) to have default numbers without 
preview because this needs less space. I thaught this was agreed and 
done...isn't this behavior anymore like this? :s

If you use Ctrl+F1/F2/... to change desktop or when you use the magic screen 
edges functions to move windows from one virutal dekstop to another, you get 
this too, you get feedback (here it is, I don't know if this feedback is 
default). The problem is, is that you don't get this feedback when you just 
click on another desktop in the pager view. IMO this behavior should be also 
there (and default).

Maybe also show the desktop in the tooltip from items in the taskbar?

off topic: Doing this is very difficult...
