A little more information - The window manager is metacity. I can go into gconf-editor and change the number of workspaces there. The same result occurs. When the number of workspaces is set above 16, nothing seems to occur at that point (when num_workspaces is actually changed). However, when I try to change workspaces, metacity dies (window frames disappear and all of the windows move to workspace 1). gconfd-2 starts to hammer the hard drive. By observing top, I can see that metacity is continually being restarted. As soon as I right click on num_workspaces and "Unset Key", num_workspaces returns to 4 and everyone is happy again...
