Bug#535651: gnome: Unable to change number of workspaces

[Noah Slater]

Package: gnome
Version: 1:2.22.2~5
Severity: normal

I am unable to change the number of workspaces. The preferences dialogue for the
workspace switcher doesn't have any options that help me. I am pretty sure this
used to work from this menu.
