I am having this problem also. I can set the number of workspaces and their names only when Desktop Effects are disabled. By default the desktop effects were set to "Normal effects".
I think I am running 7.10 tribe 4 or 5 (I installed 4 from CD and it did an upgrade last night which includes the new multiple monitor config tool).
