I think that different pagers do slightly different things. The one that 
comes with AfterStep does several things:

It controls how many virtual desktops there are.
It controls the size of each virtual desktop.
It shows a miniature view of the applications on the desktops.
It provides easy switching between desktops, using the mouse.
It makes it easy to move applications from one desktop to another.

The pager might do more than that, but that is what i use it for. Most 
useful to me is controlling the size of each virtual desktop and 
providing a visual overview of what applications are running and where 
they are located.
