Comment 0 for bug 826089

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"
I'm not currently aware what settings change(s) in unity cause the folder ~/.gconf/apps/metacity to be created though could be tracked down
I don't think that having an empty %gconf.xml in the parent dir. is uncommon, but in this case is certainly the culprit.
If I remove it, log out/in then all 4 workspaces show up. If I return it then, log out/in then back to 1
Currently in ~/.gconf/apps/metacity
