Bug#894582: gnome-shell: Dynamic workspace setting not honoured at startup

[Peter Denison]

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.28.0-1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When the settings are for dynamic workspaces, the shell starts up with 
only two workspaces and does not behave as per the dynamic workspace setting

If the setting is changed (using gnome-tweaks) to static workspaces and 
then back to dynamic workspaces, the dynamic workspaces behave as 
expected
