[Bug 1051492] [NEW] It doesn't seem possible to configure the number of workspaces

 

Public bug reported:

I was trying to update the workspace pages in the Ubuntu Desktop Guide for Quantal:
https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/shell-workspaces.html

But I can't figure out how to change the number of workspaces.

I found a schema, but maybe it really needs a schema path to be set in order for it to work?
  <schema id="org.compiz.core" gettext-domain="compiz">

Like this one for instance:
  <schema path="/org/gnome/desktop/interface/" id="org.gnome.desktop.interface">

$ gsettings set org.compiz.core vsize 3
Schema 'org.compiz.core' is relocatable (path must be specified)

I even tried this:
$ dconf write /org/compiz/core/vsize 3

but that didn't seem to have any useful effect.
