Bug Description

In Trusty beta 2, fully updated, the workplace switcher is not active by default.
This contradicts the doc, https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/ubuntu-help/shell-windows.html

I had to turn to a a third party page, http://iloveubuntu.net/ubuntu-1404-received-improved-keyboard-shortcuts-workspaces
to see how to enable it.

The documentation needs to be updated to reflect the fact that the workspaces are not enabled by default in Unity.

For future reference, is there a way to file bugs against the doc?

This was on our task list spreadsheet since late in the 13.10 cycle, I think.

For my part of it, I had every intention of getting to it this cycle, and it could have been done early in the cycle.
