If you make the window Sticky, it will stay in place as you switch
pages or desks, then you make it UnSticky again, and it will stay
there. And the function WindowsDesk will move the window to a new
desktop directly.

I'm not sure what you mean there. The sample rc file included
certainly does need beefing up (I plan to do that for the next release
as yet another prelude to officially releasing it) but it does
currently reference the pager in several places:
