[ubuntu-uk] desktop 1 and 2

[Rowan]

One of the first things I did with my new machine was switch it to one 
desktop only, because as long as it was set to two, I found that it 
would skid from one desktop to the other every time I tried to drag the 
pointer across the screen. This is presumably the result of a default 
pointer behaviour that can be specifically turned off, but personally I 
don't feel a need for more than one desktop anyway.
