the workspace manager worked iń the beginning. but now when selecting the workspace button, the 2x2 grid is displayed, only the upper left one having color, the others are black, and only the upper left is selectable. so in fact having only one usable workspace. i tried compizconfigsettings, but changing the grid size there had no effect at all (ubuntu 11.10, sony vaio) | ||||

The way I understand the new Workspace manager, if you have active windows in a workspace, it is coloured in workspace manager. Or else, as you have noted, they are in black. If you select a workspace, they have an orange outline. See the picture for clarification. You can select unused workspace in the manager without any problems.

Same problem here. It used to work for a few days, but now I'm stuck with just one workspace. The others are black (even the background isn't shown) and they are unselectable. It might have something to do with the installation of Gnome Shell? I installed that because I wasn't very happy with the new Unity, but eventually I turned back to Unity, finding out three of my workspaces were gone. A solution is given here: Workspaces don't work on my system but unfortunately it doesn't work for me. It might help you though. Edit: I see you already tried CCSM, sorry for re-suggesting it. | |||

This is my first fix but I had the same problem as you and just got it to work. Log out of unity and click the sprocket where you sign in to log back in under gnome classic. Right click the lower panel to add workspaces if not already there. Right click the single workspace icon and click on preferences. The rest is pretty simple. Now log back into unity and you will have your workspaces back. | |||
