Limit number of workspaces to 9 by default.

* Subject is a bit weird - I don't see anything that's "by default" about this; it's a hard limit. You might be able to fool around with GConf keys or sending net-wm-messages to the root window, but the interaction would be pretty much undefined.

- Dropping on the (+) should fail with a snap-back once you hit the limit, not launch stuff on the current workspace.

What about just hidding the (+) button in this case?
To indicate that the limit is reached?

What will limiting maximum amount of workspaces give for a user ? Nothing than annoyance.

So why you wanna write extra code only to annoy user by crossing his way ?

I strongly suggest to make this unlimited by default. And for some special cases (that I can not even think of yet :) ) let user (or system administrator) limit this.

bug 593844 has a better fix.
