This could be a late entry but i would like to add the below
Another solution would be to assign hot keys to workspaces
i.e. suppose
Alt + 1 goes to first workspace
Alt + 2 goes to second workspace
... and so on
This could result in maximum of 9 (unlimited may be) switchable workspaces.

Disabling one of the most powerful and work enhancing features is just
pure stupid IMO. I can't believe this has gone through, it just
completely disrupts my work. If this is removed by default then there
should be a configuration utility also available by default which
compiz-config is not.

This is a fundamental usability problem:

It should be noted that certain applications have dead areas, over which
a scroll event will cause the desktop to flip even though the

To expend on the dead areas mentioned by the previous poster, it often
