Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:

1 - On a fresh install, enable desktop effects.
2 - Right click on the "workspace switcher">"preferences".
3 - Increase columns to 4 (other values appear to work too)
4 - Go to System>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts.
5 - Try to enter a keyboard shortcut for "Switch to workspace X" (where X is a number greater than your original (2) number of workspaces). (also, move to workspace options)

The option will not exist. To get it to show, you need to turn off desktop effects.

Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04

Also happens in Intrepid beta 1. There are only keyboard shortcuts for switching to desktop 1 and 2, not the new ones that were created.
