Description Tim Janik 2008-01-24 21:14:58 UTC 
workspaces larger than 12 cannot be switched to with keybindings, because keybindings can only be configured to switch to workspaces 1 to 12. workspace numbers >12 are not uncommon amongst the user base, even Mac OS X Leopard offers 16 workspaces.

Other information:
patches have already been provided to offer extended switching abilities, see this bug report: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-gnome-maintainers/2005-June/015209.html
(Bug#313458: metacity: only supports keyboard shortcuts for 12 workspaces.)

(Feel free to encourage the Debian folk to apply your patch downstream, though.)
