Title:
  No keyboard shortcut actions available for workspaces numbered higher
  than 12

Status in GNOME Control Center:
  Invalid
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  Symptoms
  ========
  I have 14 workspaces.  I would like to assign a keyboard shortcut to
  access all of them.  I am able to do so for desktops #1-12 via System ->
  Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts.  In the Keyboard Shortcuts manager,
  there are predefined actions for switching to workspaces 1-12 ("Switch
  to workspace 1", "Switch to workspace 2", etc.).  However, there are no
  actions for workspaces numbered higher than 12.

  If a user configures more than 12 workspaces, the "Keyboard Shortcuts"
  utility should be dynamically updated to reflect that.

  A workaround is:
  1. Install the "wmctrl" package
  2. Open the Keyboard Shortcuts utility via System -> Preferences ->
     Keyboard Shortcuts.
  3. Click "Add".
  4. Name: Switch to workspace 13
     Command: wmctrl -s 12  (the desktop numbering is 0-based)
  5. Click "Apply".
  6. Scroll down to the "Custom Shortcuts" section.
  7. Apply a keyboard shortcut to the new action.

  Steps to reproduce the problem
  ==============================
  1. Right-click on the workspace panel and select "Preferences".
  2. Configure more than 12 workspaces.
  3. Open the Keyboard Shortcuts utility via System -> Preferences ->
     Keyboard Shortcuts.  Note that there are no actions for any workspaces
     numbered greater than 12.
