Bug Description

Expecting 4 workspaces. Expecting a front-end way to change number of workspaces. Since this is not the case, somehow I am stuck with 2 workspaces after installing other desktop environments:

gnome
gnome-shell
kde-plasma
Lubuntu
Lubuntu-Netbook
LXDE
openbox
openbox-gnome
openbox-kde
openbox.xsession
ubuntu-2d
ubuntu
xfce
xubuntu

Workaround:
Open gconf editor
Find key /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces
Change value from 2 to 4
Log out
Log back in
