Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
As far as i know there's no way to configure the number of workspaces inside unity (aside from tweaking the gconf settings).
In a normal gnome session it's possible to use the gnome-panel applet itself.
In a gnome-shell session the number of desktops can be easily changed on the fly.
but there's no option in unity, and this can be a problem since other applications (like the gnome-shell itself) can change the relevant keys inside gconf, thus leaving the user with a less than optimal (for unity usage at least) number of workspaces (like 1 or 3) and no way of changing it inside the session.

We're going to address this in 11.04, without a settings window, so the
bug would better be titled "Design and implement workspace creation and
removal"
