Thanks for the reply  :)
It seems I've been using desktops rather than viewports. There appears 
to be some conflict between compiz / beryl / gtk-window-decorator (I'm 
quite new to all this). I've changed the number of workspaces in the GL 
desktop panel back to 1, then I was able to increase the number of 
viewports by right clicking on the workspace switcher. It's a bit of a 
mix-up actually, because I was having problems with original desktop 
effects (I was losing window bars when I turned them on, and could not 
find a solution on the forums), so I installed emerald, but then added 
the 'gtk-window-decorator --replace' command to the session manager, 
because that got me the original window decorations back AND I could 
also use the desktop effects without losing window bars. The problem is 
when I now want to start the GL desktop panel, the window bars switch 
back to emerald, and I have to execute the "gtk-window-decorator 
--replace" command again before the GL desktop can be launched. Also, 
when I do this, the viewports are back to 1 again. It looks like GL 
desktop overrides the original workspaces settings. I suppose I've made 
a bit of a mess here :)
