Amit, I believe the design team were probably the ones who requested the
2x2 layout. But they also have never responded to this bug.
If you prefer a flat 4x1 layout as I do, then you can set it in CCSM:
General Options > Desktop Size > Vertical Virtual Size = 1, Horizontal
Virtual Size = 4
Then you will only need to use Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right to access all the
viewports.

Title:
workspace switcher keyboard shortcuts are unoptimal

Bug description:
Binary package hint: unity
I've been using unity for a few weeks now. The new workspace switcher
with 4 workspaces arranged in a 2x2 grid breaks the keyboard UI.
Previously, I would have to only to a Ctrl-Alt-<Left> or <Right> to
navigate my workspaces w/o having to keep looking at the screen to see
where I was since I'd pass through each of them. Now I have to use all
four arrow keys to navigate through them, all the while looking to see
where I am and which key to use (up, down, left, right) to get to the
workspace I want to.
Regardless of how you show the workspace switcher graphically (2x2 is
fine), the shortcuts should be reverted to Ctrl-Alt-<Left> or <Right>
that will cycle through all workspaces.
