Current situation

Add option to have desktops shown in multiple rows in Pager. This is regression in comparison to KDE 3. It was possible to have pager in multiple rows in order to save space (especially in dual-screen situation when desktops spread over two monitors).

Right click -> Configure Virtual Desktops -> Rows

I just discovered it for myself too.
It would be still nice for usability reasons to have this option also available from the Pager Settings. It would be way more intuitive.

Maybe, although it doesn't reflect how the system actually works. The virtual desktop layout is a global property in X, it's not specific to a particular pager. You can't have two pagers with different layout for example, unless they chose to ignore the global layout, which ours doesn't. It's one of those awkward rock-and-a-hard-place things. We can likely do better in Wayland soon.
