Title:
  gnome-shell writes to ~/.gconf/apps/metacity/general & affects
  Workspaces shown in unity-2d

Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity-2d” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I mainly use unity (3d) but have noticed that at some point when trying unity-2d I can only see/access 1 workspace from "Workspaces"
  It turns out that if one logs into gnome-shell, when exiting it writes to  - ~/.gconf/apps/metacity/general
  Typically it would do this, but the value used is based on workspaces open in GS when exiting
  <entry name="num_workspaces" mtime="1313702896" type="int" value="1"/>

  In the above case when logging into unity-2d only 1 workspace will be
  shown
