I am having this issue. I asked about it in the Forums (here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1074789) and got no response.

With "Visual Effects: None", the Workspace Switcher Preferences has the selections:
 - "Show only the current workspace" or "Show all the workspaces in N rows", and
 - "Number of workspaces"
I have 4 workspaces set up to be shown in 2 rows. I get a 2x2 display in the Workspace Switcher, with 4 active workspaces.

If I switch to "Visual Effects: Normal", the Workspace Switcher Preferences window changes to offer only:
 - "Number of rows"
 - "Number of columns"
The default is 4 columns and 1 row. I get a 2x4 display in the Workspace Switcher, with the upper 1x4 active and the lower 1x4 unused.

If I switch it to 2 columns, 2 rows, as I had it previously, I get a display that is sized for 4x2 in the Workspace Switcher, where the upper 2x2 is active and the lower 2x2 is unused (see attached image).

I haven't found a way to configure my desktop with "Visual Effects: Normal" or "Advanced" such that the Workspace Switcher displays the workspaces without an unused bottom half.

I am running Intrepid, with gnome-panel 1:2.24.1-0ubuntu2.1 and compiz 1:0.7.8-0ubuntu4.1.
