Can I have more than four dessktop in Unity?

Asked by bill purvis

I've just upgraded to Natty and disovered Unity - very mixed feelings at present. I am used to having 6 desktops, but can't find a way to pursuade Unity to change from 4. Any advice?

Sorry to ask a dumb question but what's CCSM and how do I get that?
I can't find it in the Control Centre window.

Instead of asking, you could have websearched and found out yourself. Makes things faster as you are not waiting for a reply plus it makes you more autonomous.

Press ALT+F2 and type:

ccsm

It will run.

OK, I was assuming that it was somewhere in the system. I tried ALT+F2 and got no reponse.
Opened a terminal window and typed it there and it reported that ccsm wasn't installed.
Eventually got it installed and ran it, and eventually found the screen you suggested and
fixed my problem. I'm not impressed by this latest release!

You can press SuperL and type the command in the top bar instead
