Bug Description
unity 3.6.6-0ubuntu3, Ubuntu Natty
The "Workspace Switcher" item in the launcher takes up a substantial amount of space in the launcher, and cannot be removed, when most people will not use it intentionally.
Other launcher items have a "Keep in Launcher" menu item, but the Workspace Switcher does not. If it did, though, someone would need to design a way of putting it back in the launcher again.

I think there's a strong case for having Workspaces be completely
optional, and possibly even not enabled by default.
MPT, where would the on/off switch for them best live?
