So this appears to be a fixed problem, I believe it was shipped with
the segv because gconf normally has a g_return_if_fail to catch this
metacity case, but apparently the debian gconf is built with
--disable-debug so just crashed instead of spewing warnings.
Anyhow, I believe this is the fix:
2002-12-15 Havoc Pennington <hp@pobox.com>
* src/prefs.c (meta_prefs_change_workspace_name): don't
pass NULL
string to gconf_client_set_string #101237
If that doesn't work then let me know.
Havoc
