+<question>
+<para>Why could I need &kpager;?</para>
+</question>
+<answer><para>&kpager; can be used as an alternative to the pager applet in the
+panel. It has the advantage of being resizeable and within this able to show
+icon or pixmap views of the running applications, move the windows across
+desktops and run outside of the panel.</para></answer>
+</qandaentry>
+<qandaentry>
+<question>
+<para>How can I change the behavior of &kpager;?</para>
+</question>
+<answer><para>Clicking the <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> mouse button
+anywhere within &kpager; lets you chose <guilabel>Configure</guilabel> from the
+context menu for displaying the <link linkend="kpager-settings">settings
+dialog</link></para>
+</answer>
+</qandaentry>
+<qandaentry>
+<question>
+<para>Windows are transparent by default, how do I turn this off?</para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+<para>Currently, you cannot turn that option off within the config dialog, but
+you can do it manually like this:</para>
+
+<para>Open the file <filename>$KDEHOME/share/config/kpagerrc</filename> with any
+text editor like &kedit; or <application>vi</application>. If you have no
+rights to write that file, you may need to do it as root or contact your system
+administrator. In this file you will have to add a new key with the name
+<userinput>windowTransparentMode</userinput> with a number as value. Values
+are:</para>
+
+<simplelist>
+<member>0 - No transparent windows at all.</member>
+<member>1 - Only maximized windows are transparent.</member>
+<member>2 - all windows are transparent (default).</member>
