How to fix the Conflicts with Gnome workspace and compiz workspace

I've had this problem for a while. I admit that I'm still new to Linux, I was recently a Micro$oft windows user, and I'm still learning the ropes around the Ubuntu world. I had no idea that Gnome workspace would have such conflicts with compiz workspace. Although it's a minor thing... I'm a gadget junkie so I just had to have my cube functioning. I was having such a difficult time getting it to work. I went to the Ubuntu forums to searching for the answer and I stumble on a thread that gave me such a relief.

I went to Systems > preference > Compizconfig settings manager and clicked general options.


I had several boxes that I can choose from... General, display settings, Focus & Raise Behavior, Key bindings and finally Desktop size. I've chosen the Desktop Size and on Horizontal virtual size was on 1. To activate your workspace you need to type in how many numbers you would want to have for your workspace. I've chosen 4. After you've exit the Compizconfig settings manager you should notice on the right bottom corner of your screen the amount of workspaces that you've chosen from the Compizconfig settings manager.
