KDE 4.2: Taskbar widget to switch between desktop 1-4 [SOLVED]

While I was messing around with my taskbar widgets, I accidentally removed the one that lets you switch between desktop 1-4 with a mouse click. It's usually found to the very right of the kickoff launcher on a default KDE install. I can still switch desktops with the keyboard, but I liked it being there and can't find it in the "add widgets" menu. I was using default KDE 4.2.1 when this happened, but I've since switched to KDEMod. Anyone know how I can get this back?

It's definitely in the widgets list, "desktop switcher" or so (my KDE is German -> "Arbeitsflächen-Umschalter").

Thanks, I checked literally a dozen times and couldn't find it for some reason, heh. Maybe because the icon doesn't look how I would expect, and the name "pager" doesn't seem to fit a desktop switcher.

On a side note but related to things I can't find, isn't there a way to mark a thread as solved on these forums?
