I can't imagine too ;-)

Maybe the most way to dispose more than 32 workspaces (and even less) is with 
a matrix. 

I vote for that feature:
 1) a variable number of workspaces
 and
 2) the possibility of sorting them into a matrix (nxm where n and m is 
choosen by user)

But I think that it's not a important new feature to implement (other features 
I think are most important: for example, the possibility to hide taskbar and 
panel (like gnome or kde)).

But if anyone implement it, I think that it could be in taskbar and panel 
plugin.

Thanks,
Xan.
