Bug Description

"Workspace switcher" launcher does not have "Unlock from Launcher" in its right-click menu, like most other launchers have.

This breaks consistency in the launcher, and clutters the launcher for users who don't use it.

I believe this is a duplicate of bug 868423. That bug is proposing (apparently for 13.04) to remove the workspace switcher by default, which presumably should mean that there would also be a way to re-add it for those that use workspaces.

Yes, we can't yet support the removal of it via UI since there's no way to re-add it...
There are two ways to remove it, btw... Remove the "unity://expo-icon" from unity favorites on gsettings (This won't probably work on beta2, but it will since unity 6.8), or set the compiz horizontal/Vertical size to 1 (i.e. disable workspaces)
