FBSD-4.9/gnome2-2.4.0/workspace_switcher-2.4.1 prefs not fully remembered

[supraexpress at globaleyes.net]

I can enable "workspace name" in Workspace_Switcher Preferences and the next
Gnome2-2.4.0 session will display it. HowEVER, changing the number of
workspaces does NOT get saved, apparently, and every Gnome2-2.4.0 session
starts up with only ONE workspace in the Workspace_Switcher.

Removing Workspace_Switcher from the Panel and adding it back to the Panel
makes no difference in selecting multiple workspaces between Gnome sessions.
