Bug Description
You can use the keyboard for switching between the workspaces. E.g. you can configure keys to switch to the workspace left or right to your current workspace.
When you switch between the workspaces using the keyboard, all 4 workspaces are shown in a single row (see attachment SwitchingWorkpl
I think this is a little bit confusing and makes it sometimes difficult to find the right workplace when you use the keyboard control. In case of switching between the workplaces via keyboard the workplaces should also be displayed in a 2x2 layout.

Hi Jochen, Nice spotted. I think that they could also be numbered (In both cases, in the 2x2 layout and the horizontal one, or even the fixed one with just the 2x2's) , of course, following the Ubuntu desing and letter format.
