defaults delete: couldn't remove non-existent value GSWorkspaceApplication from domain NSGlobalDomain
I did a 'defaults read' on NSGlobalDomain; it is now a lot larger than it used to be and I see several references to GWorkspace. For example, there is a 'GWorkspace no_desktop NO'.
Would it help to set that to YES? I also looked in SystemPreferences (Ubuntu 12.04) but saw no place to disable it.
