I'm not having this problem at all.  Try creating a separate, new user
account, and see if that user has the problem.  If not, can your normal
user write to the ~/.gconf/apps/metacity/general/ folder?

Does this work?  (It should set the number of workspaces to 10, rows to
1.)

gconftool-2 -s --type int /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces 10
gconftool-2 -s --type int /apps/panel/applets/workspace_switcher/prefs/num_rows 1
