I'm not sure what you mean by feedback. What I would mean by feedback
is present in metacity.

metacity has this as far as I know. I recently added a way to disable
Alt+click stuff and that was the last not-possible-to-disable thing I
know of.

This is not a window manager issue, the pager is an external app.

I wrote a library called "libwnck" which handles all the
pager/tasklist backend details; I'm surprised more people haven't used
it to write their own pager flavors.

Please use bugzilla.gnome.org for feature requests on both of these.
For metacity, because you get me on redhat.com and gnome.org both, but
gnome.org is my master feature-todo-list so I just move all the bugs
there. For sawfish, because we don't do any feature enhancement work
on it.
