Bug Description
I mainly use unity (3d) but have noticed that at some point when trying unity-2d I can only see/access 1 workspace from "Workspaces"
It turns out that if one logs into gnome-shell, when exiting it writes to - ~/.gconf/
Typically it would do this, but the value used is based on workspaces open in GS when exiting
<entry name="num_
In the above case when logging into unity-2d only 1 workspace will be shown

Using a fresh install w/ 06/15 daily -
Workspaces works fine by default, all 4 ws's shown. The gconf dir. tree as mentioned above is in place by default.
All is well until gnome-shell is installed and logged into once, then logging back into unity-2d and only 1 ws is now shown.
The only thing done in gnome-shell was to enable the 'run command' key binding - Alt+F2 apps/metacity then allows the 4 ws's to be seen
Removing GS has no effect
As before removing the empty %gconf.xml in ~/.gconf/
