xfce4-panel pager (aka "Workspace Switcher") width?

[Zenaan Harkness <zen@freedbms.net>]

After release of wheezy (I'm on sid), my pager has grown about twice
as wide as I had it before. It looks like it has been set back to it's
default setting for a 3-column pager, but I wanted a narrower pager,
and I had achieved it before this post-wheezy-release sid-upgrade.

I tried adding settings -> xfce4-panel -> plugin-4 (pager) ->
width(int), but this does not appear to be honoured.

I've done a few google searches but come up answerless.
Anyone know how I might have achieved this the first time, or how to
achieve it now?

Thanks heaps,
Zenaan
