Generally, right after UBUNTU installation, we will be able to see only 4 workspaces but as the need of workspace increases, we find it difficult to manage with only 4 workspaces. So if you are frustrated enough by trying to increase the number of workspaces, then here is the simple solution by seeing which you will start to bang your head. Lol!!!
Solution goes like this :-
- Press Alt+F2. This will open up the “Run Application”.
- Type gconf-editor and click on “Run”.
- Now goto apps -> metacity -> general
- Look for num_workspaces in right panel. Right next to it you can see 4.
- Change that number 4 to 8 or any number as you wish and press Enter.
That's it :) Stay tuned for some more tricks here.
