Title:
  can only really have one row in workspace switcher

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-panel

  Though the workspace switcher in the bottom right corner allows you to
  have multiple rows (Show all workspaces in: X rows), only one row is
  used. I have four workspaces and wanted to show them in two rows. All
  that happens is that the workspace icons/previews in the switcher
  become half as tall and the bottom is left empty. They are still all
  side-by-side.

  I am using the "Normal" desktop/compiz effects. 
  I upgraded from feisty, so that might be a consideration. It certainly explains why I have four workspaces, since the switcher, at least in "normal" mode doesn't allow you to select how many workspaces you'd like, only if it should show the current workspace or all of them in multiple rows. 

  When I go back to using no visual effects, I am able to select how
  many workspaces I'd like and change the workspaces names (and choose
  whether to show those names in the switcher.) So it seems clear the
  problem is related to the visual effects, unless the config from
  feisty somehow messes up the tool's preferences when visual effects
  are used.
