I believe HP shipped with a modified form of the CVS about halfway
through 4.1. So, if you don't see a "Workspaces and Margins" applet in
the xfce-settings-show app, then you can use the keybindings for
adding and removing workspaces. Alt+Insert adds, Alt+Delete removes.
If HP has changed the key modifiers, check in the window manager
settings under "Keyboard"
