Well, apparently something's still wrong in Ubuntu Gutsy (Sysinfo shows lenny/sid release). I had previously uninstalled all compiz packages from my laptop. (Bad idea, as I later learned.) I reinstalled compiz- gnome and compiz-config-settings-manager with all their dependencies. All uninstallation and reinstallation was done via Synaptic Package Manager.
After installation, Visual Effects were as they were prior to my uninstallation - None. I can switch among workspaces with <CTRL><ALT><right arrow> and <CTRL><ALT><left arrow>. Right clicking on a taskbar button provides the option to move the app Right and/or left as appropriate or to a particular workspace. When I set Visual Effects to Normal, any apps running in workspaces other than 1 are moved to workspace 1. If there are multiple occurrences of the same app, all but one are terminated. <CTRL><ALT><right arrow> and <CTRL><ALT><left arrow> do nothing. In both cases, all settings are the same in gconf-editor and compiz- config-settings-manager: In gconf-editor, apps/metacity/num- workspaces=3. In apps/compiz/screen0/options, hsize=3, vsize=1, number_of_desktops=1. In compiz-config-settings-manager (System|Preferences|Advanced Desktop Effect Settings), Horizontal Virtual Size=3, Vertical Virtual Size=1, Number of Desktops=1.
