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.
