Hi,
the workspace switcher prefs are available via gconf-editor

apps/panel/profiles/default/applets/workspace-switcher/prefs

Because the number and names of the workspaces is a function
of the window manager, not the applet that just displays them,
those prefs have to be set via gconf-editor

apps/metacity/general
apps/metacity/workspace_names

My understanding from the responses to when I asked this question back
in October was that metacity is only the window manager when the system
doesn't have the hardware to run compiz (or you've specifically disabled
compiz).

See:

        
http://openindiana.org/pipermail/openindiana-discuss/2013-October/014003.html

and the follow-up responses.

Using the information provided by Jonathan & Alan in that thread, I was
able to set my oi151a8 to have 8 workspaces, since it was indeed compiz that's
being used on my hardware.

I'm still haven't figured out how to *name* the workspaces, but at least
I have the number that I want.
