Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
Late in Maverick cycle the default number of workspaces in Unity changed from 1 to 4. I prefer only 1 so I can use the workspaces button in the launcher and stil see the miniatures of the windows, but there's no way to change it in the UI (as per Bug #639633).
However even if I change the number of spaces in gconf-editor, or gconftool, the number of spaces changes back to 4 after a reboot or logout/login cycle.
I also tried the following command from the console after logging out:
gconftool -s /apps/metacity/
The same happens. I can reproduce it everytime.

yeah, as there is no ui for changing the number of ws, Jason changed if < 4, set it as 4. I'll assign him the bug. I still think it's annoying personnaly :)
