Just for completeness, here is how you would get 8 workspaces (desktops) in Gnome.
Firstly, and the easiest way, is to have at least 7 windows open, one per workspace. An 8th workspace will be automatically available, and will be empty. If you wish to have a static number of workspaces, change the setting in the Tweak Tool [1]. On the left hand side of the window, select the Workspaces button. Then change workspace creation to static. Input the number of workspaces in to the box below. 1: If you cannot find it, you may need to install it, the package name is gnome-tweak-tool (sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
