Description Paul Livingston 2010-08-27 17:13:02 UTC 
unable to add or delete workspaces using the window switcher applet while running compiz/emerald.  Help for window switcher states the following:
"To add workspaces to the GNOME Desktop, right-click on the Workspace Switcher applet, then choose Preferences. The Workspace Switcher Preferences dialog
is displayed. Use the Number of workspaces spin box to
specify the number of workspaces that you require."

No spin box appears when the preferences window for window switcher is invoked and changes to the number of  using gconf-editor have no effect.  Compiz Config Settings Manager can be used to change the number of workspaces (hard learned lesson), but the normal and documented method of using the window switcher applet does not work.
