I am still seeing this problem on a fresh install of Ubuntu Dapper. Number of workspaces is not remembered across sessions, despite changing the number of workspaces every time I login via the applet's preferences.
Note that I have uninstalled metacity in favor of sawfish. I still have libmetacity0 installed. -- Workspace switcher preferences do not remember number of workspaces https://launchpad.net/bugs/27449 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
