When in RTL mode, do the virtual desktops actually reverse their layout as well? If not, then doing this would cause the pager to be displaying inaccurate information.

When in RTL mode, the pager widget layout is the same as the layout in LTR mode. The information is accurate, but it was nice if the desktops were ordered from right to left, and not from left to right.

So the problem is not that the pager itself is displaying the wrong information, but rather that the desktops themselves do not reverse.

Please do not reverse the Pager widget.
It should be displayed as:
4 3 2 1
or:
2 1
4 3

Sorry, this isn't really doable. If you want to have this happen, you can manually name the virtual desktops in whatever order you want and assign the shortcuts accordingly
